Problems connecting to database in DW with Vista OS

I am having trouble connecting to an Access db when I use
Vista as OS.
On my laptop (Win XP) everything works OK, but when I am
trying to connect
to an Access db I use the wizard, find the database and test
it .
When I try to test the connection string I get an error
saying 'unspecified
error'.
Could there be a dll or something that is not properly
registered?
reidarT

Thanks, but I get the same problem.
I test the connection and it works OK, but when I try to look
at tables and
views in the Application, databases
there are no tables and views.
And when I do the same on my laptop with Win XP it works OK.
I have given myself all rights in your suggested folder.

  • Problems setting up a WRT54G router with Vista

    My husband upgraded to Windows Vista Home Basic over the weekend (we don't have the newest version! omg!angst!woe!). Today, I got a call that our DSL was turned on, I set up the modem, got the internet working, and attempted to set up the wireless router.
    I have used the setup cd, the EasyLink program, and the directions to manually set up the router. I can get the router linked up properly, I can even log into the DSL modem through the router. The problem is that I can't get any of these setup programs to recognize the router. Even putting in http://192.168.1.1 brings up a "page cannot be loaded" error in both Firefox 2.0 and IE (however, when I remove the router, I can see the DSL modem fine with it). Is there some other way to get the wireless router set up, or do I need to wait for one of the two computers with XP to arrive (yay for moving with the military) to set up the router?

    Hi,
    I too am having problems connecting the WRT54GS to my vista enabled pc. I have installed the software but since connecting everything my internet access is now diabolically slow. This is on the main wired machine, not wirelessly. The router is obvioulsy doing something inbetween (possibly the firewall) but this has made the speeds almost unbearable, negating the object of the new pc !!
    Is there some settings I should eb checking ?
    Many Thanks

  • I am having problems connecting to my home wifi with my iphone4s

    Over the past couple of weeks I have experienced a problem connecting to my home wifi service (Sky) with my iphone4s although my laptop connects fine. My phone also picks up the wifi at my place of work. At home when in close proximity to the router (netgear) on the phone the network name appears in the wifi settings but on the wifi networks page it does not get a tick against the name (wheel just keeps revolving). I have taken it back to the retailer (Vodaphone) and they recommend it be sent back to Apple (Liverpool or Manchester) as they consider it a hardware fault. I will be without the phone for probably 1-2 weeks and I use it within my working environment regularly.
    Has any one any ideas?
    jd
    ps. If I go down the route of 'forget this Network' will I need to do any resets on the router as I cant find the username and password when I enter my IP address for the router.

    It is strange because it was working all right since 3 months ago and in these 2 last weeks, it is frequently this problem. Sometimes it works sometimes it does not.
    Of course, I tried the connection between OIM and SAP, with the SAP login, and the connection is all OK.
    My oim vertion is 9.1 and the SAP User Management connector is 9.0.4.1.
    Did anybody have this problem before?
    Bye!

    Oh I forget, when I restart the application server, in my case the jboss, the problem is fixed. Strange...

  • I keep getting an error message there was a problem connecting to server.  URLs with the type "file" are not supported

    I keep getting an error messahe that says
    There was a problem connecting to the server.  URLs with type "file" are not supported
    Any ideas?

    Actually, in my case, turning off Time Machine didn't work. I had the same problem. We definitely traced it to Time Machine. The "Fix" was this: plugged in and designated different external HD as Backup volume. Then unplugged it and plugged in the original disc (after testing in in a different machine) and now the computer recognized it and error message stopped popping up. The Apple tech was as puzzled as I as to why this worked, but perhaps, forcing the machine to re-recognize it (or maybe even, gettting it recognized by a different machine first) somehow worked some magic.

  • Problem connecting to non-apple routers with WEP key

    Hi there, have tried to connect to two wireless routers recently which have WEP keys. One gives me "Connection timed out" after about 5 seconds and the other says "incompatible security". The passcode is too long to enter if I choose any of the WEP 40/128-bit options (it's 32 characters long!)
    Any help appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Jon

    Hi.
    I can't connect to WEP networks either with Leopard 10.5.1.
    It just says "incompatible Security". I've tried it for one hour without any luck.
    Why doesn't Apple realize that there are millions of WEP encrypted networks out there and that it is essential to be able to connect to them. (it worked with Tiger, didn't it?)
    Is there a knowledge base article out there what to do about it?
    I just can't walk to hotel managers and ask them to switch to WPA, especially if they don't have a clue how to do that and older windows computers won't be able to connect any more.
    Why a transparent menu bar but no way to connect to WEP networks?
    I'm very disappointed. Apple, fix this! (now!)
    Is there actually a way to get your money back for Leopard if this basic things don't work anymore?
    Thank you for any help.

  • Problem connection to database when opening Crystal Report in VB6 app

    Hi all, first post, so be gentle!
    I've developed a simple app and database using VB6 and SQL Server 2005 and is seems to be working well when i test it.
    Problem i have is after i installed the app on another PC. When the user tries to open the report they get an error when the report tries to connect to the database. It appears the report is trying to connect to the SQL Server using the user's AD account details, yet i set the report up with a trusted connection. I created a replica ODBC connection (as used by me when designing the report) on the users PC to see if that was what was missing. THis was set up to use the generic SQL Server logon details. Unfortubately the report is still trying to connect with the user's AD details.
    I had a bash at creating the VB commands to set the connection settings, but i couldn't get this to work.
    If anyone can help point me in the right direction or show me the correct code/steps to get th connection details correct, i'd be very grateful.
    Here is the code i have in my app:
    (Form1)
    Dim crxApplication As New CRAXDRT.Application
    Public Report As CRAXDRT.Report
    Private Sub cmdRunReport_Click()
    ReportPath = App.Path & "\" & File1.FileName
    If (File1.FileName = "SKU MTM Report - ADR.rpt" Or File1.FileName = "SKU MTM Report - BS100.rpt") Then
        Set Report = crxApplication.OpenReport(ReportPath, 1)
        Report.ParameterFields.Item(1).AddCurrentValue (Trim(DataCombo1.Text))
        Report.ParameterFields.Item(2).AddCurrentValue (Trim(DataCombo2.Text))
        Report.ParameterFields.Item(3).AddCurrentValue (Trim(DataCombo3.Text))
    End If
    frmreports2.Show
    End Sub
    (Form2 with Crystal ActiveX Viewer component)
    Private Sub Form_Load()
    CrystalActiveXReportViewer1.ReportSource = frmReports.Report
    CrystalActiveXReportViewer1.ViewReport
    End Sub
    Thanks in advance for any advice!

    Here is an article on how to distribute the runtime using msm files. I think the articles was written in CR 9, but all applies, save the names of the msm files:

    Note that you have to use a utility such as Wise, InstallShield, MS Visual Installer, etc., to create your deployment.
    I have also created a short wiki that describes the msm downloads for each version of CR:

    >> ODBC Driver Manager ... Data source name not found
    That appears to be ODBC drivers looking for a DSN (Data Set Name). If it wants a DSN, the DSN has to be specified in the code, and the DSN has to be configured in the windows host ODBC applet. So that is at least two squirrels to get in the right tree before moving forward. A ...host:...[port:]SID|service name are some of the bits needed in a jdbc connect string, and that is in no way related to DSNs. A Whole Different Animal. If it wants a DSN that might be what needs to go in the URL bit.
    And ODBC setups can be confusing, especially if an x64 OS is in the mix- if that is the case there are two different ODBC configuration applets, one for x64 the other for x86, and if one gets as far as talking to an actual database it might toss an architecture error. Only way to fix that "problem" is *delete* the ODBC DSN and then run the correct (maybe the x86) ODBC config utility, and set up the DSN. Again.

  • Problems connecting on Wireless 802.11n with my T61 with Intel Wireless AGN

    Hi, I live in Thailand and have a similar problem as others with my Intel Wireless AGN connection as others.  I have a D-Link Model DSL-2740B Rangebooster N ADSL2/2+ Modem Router. It is supposed to support 802.11n draft wireless connections of up to a maximum of 270 MBPS versus 54 MBPS for 802-11G wireless. Of course, I don't expect it to reach the maximum transfer speed, particularly here in Thaiand, however I would expect it to produce results better than the 54 MBPS rate for 802-11G. I first tried it on my ThinkPad T61 which incorporates Intel® Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN. When connected, it shows a speed of 54MBPS (802-11G) instead of higher wireless 802-11n speeds. I've upgraded my router to the latest firmware and have tried different configurations with no improvement in performance. One think I have noted is that when I make an on-line configuration change to my router configuration then select "apply", immediately my ThinkPad rate changes to 150 MBPS momentarily then my connection is lost (to be expected as the router changes are being implemented), followed by reconnection of wireless signal only to return at 54 MBPS again. I also have an older ThinkPad model without built-in wireless capability so I purchased a Belkin wireless 802.11n USB adapter to connect to my router. Again, the maximum connection is at 54 MBPS. When I repeat configuration changes to my router as I did above, my ThinkPad connection momentarily changes to only 1 MBPS instead of 150 MBPS as in my other T61 ThinkPad then reverts back to 54 MBPS once the configuration changes have been completed. Has anyone successfully used wireless 802.11n successfully at the higher transfer rates (above 54 MBPS)? Is it possible that my TOT Goldcyber connection speed is artificially limited? I notice that my rated speed for my desktop computer connected to my same D-Link DSL-2740B only indicates a rated speed of 100 MBPS. I use Vista Home Premium 64-bit on my destop, Vista Home Premium 32-bit on my ThinkPad T61, but us Windows XP Professional on my older ThinkPad. I feel that my problem is either with my ADSL carrier (TOT) or compatibility with my D-Link DSL-2740B Modem Router and my ThinkPad T61 internal wireless card and/or Belkin wireless n USB adapter. IT-City is letting me swap out the Belkin USB for the D-Link Rangebooster n DWA-140 USB adapter next week when they restock. The only other think that I can think of is that wireless n just doesn't work in Thailand and that maybe I should just stick with wireless G and go with a higher powered wireless USB model such as the business rated EmGenius EUB 362 EXT. Has anyone used this model and had good success with it; I've heard that it is a long range model and has the capability of reaching 108 MBPS through some sort of magic? Looking forward to reading your replies and possible solution.
     Pattayadavid

    Hi!
    Intel Wi-Fi cards support full 802.11n speed of 300 Mb/s working at 5 GHz range only. Your D-Link DSL-2740B works only in 2.4 GHz range. So to get 300 Mb/s you have to get another wi-fi router that supports 802.11n in both 2.4 and 5 GHz, for instance Lynksys WRT610N or Apple Airport Extreme or whatever.

  • Problems connecting an NEC AccuSync ASLCD223WXM with DVI

    Hi all,
    I have a PowerMac Dual G5 and just got a new monitor - an NEC AccuSync ASLCD223WXM. The monitor works fine over a VGA connection, but I wanted to try DVI so I got a Dell cable from a friend who wasn't using his. When I connect the NEC monitor to the Mac with the DVI cable, the monitor seems to switch between DVI and VGA inputs, looking for a source. The Mac desktop is visible for about a second, and then the monitor blacks out and appears to be trying to look at the VGA input (or it could just be going black). Then it switches back to the DVI input, displaying the desktop for about a second. The process repeats indefinitely.
    The resolution is set at 1650x1050 at 60 Hz.
    Anyone have any ideas? I'm wondering if I have a bad cable, or the wrong cable. There's DVI-D (which I think I have), DVI-M, DVI-A, etc... There's also single link and dual link. Not sure which I have. I've seen some info which says that the Radeon 9600 XT which is in my machine wants a DVD-D dual link cable, and the NEC monitor wants a DVI-D single link cable, but I don't trust the sources completely (and I don't know if that would cause this type of problem).
    Thanks for any help,
    Russ

    Some more info in case it helps -
    The Radeon 9600 XT in my Power Mac G5 appears to have a DVI-I port on the back. It has four extra pins around the flat contact. The NEC monitor appears to have a DVI-D port. It does not have pin inputs for the four extra pins around the flat contact. According to this (questionably creditable) webpage - http://www.pccables.com/cables/DVI_cables.html - a DVI-D to DVI-D cable is the right one to use in this situation.
    Also, when I lowered the resolution down to 1280x800, the flashing went away. Raising the resolution caused it to come back. I found this webpage on Apple's site - http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301752 - which says this:
    "The maximum resolution available when this display is connected to a single-link DVI port is 1280 x 800 - you must connect the display to a dual-link DVI port in order to access the higher resolutions available to the display."
    Does this help diagnose the problem? Do I need a dual-link DVI-D cable? I called NEC and they said use a single-link DVI-D cable, but the person on the other end of the phone didn't sound technical so I'm inclined not to believe them.
