Read access mdb file in labview via ADO/DAO problem

Hi guys,
I am now facing one problem that I want to import ACCESS database (ver2000) files into labview and turn it into tables.
but if I use ADO(actually using LABSQL) I have to create the ODBC in control panel, if I use DAO, I don't know how to call the activeX method.
I would like to realize like this:
choose in a directory which mdb file I would like to open, and then open it and show it in a labview table, but using AD0 I have to create connection for each file, does it stand a chance to open it without specify the connection in control panel?

You can use a Connection String defined by you like this
You can get the basic connection string by creating a UDL file and editing that file in Wordpad.
Hope this helps

How i can access and edit the table of database(.mdb) file through Labview

Dear sir,
I want to access and edit the table of database(.mdb) file through Labview and it should save.
please tell me how i can do it.
i am waiting for reply.
regards
Rajendra

there are options aplenty for this. First off, do you have the database connectivity toolset? If so, You can do it from there. Following the examples in labview. Or you can do a search for ADO or access database, and find plenty of VIs that can do this.

I have written a binary file with a specific header format in LABVIEW 8.6 and tried to Read the same Data File, Using LABVIEW 7.1.Here i Found some difficulty.Is there any way to Read the Data File(of LABVIEW 8.6), Using LABVIEW 7.1?

I can think of two possible stumbling blocks:
What are your 8.6 options for "byte order" and "prepend array or string size"?
Overall, many file IO functions have changed with LabVIEW 8.0, so there might not be an exact 1:1 code conversion. You might need to make some modifications. For example, in 7.1, you should use "write file", the "binary file VIs" are special purpose (I16 or SGL). What is your data type?

Linked Server to MS Access mdb file and exclusivity??

I've got an SQL database running on SQL Server 2008. From this server, I have a linked server to an Access database (access 2003).
In my database I have a stored procedure that I want to query the access database (linked server) and insert / update some rows in one of my SQL tables.
The linked server is setup without an ODBC DSN (though, I have tried it with one and still get the same results).
When I run the stored procedure RDP'd onto the sql server, it runs without issue. When I run the stored procedure from management studio from my machine, I get "It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view its
data"
Unfortunately, this access mdb file is pulled from all over our organizatoin - a sin from a long time ago - but I do know that in both instances, the file is still in use by others.
My SQL Server and file server where the MDB file exists are both a member of the same domain. Also, the account the SQL Service runs under is a domain account as well.
Does this make any sense?
Thanks
sb

Hi kumar,
According to your description, when you create an linked server in SQL Server 64 bit to connect to the Access database 32bit , usually, the error 7399 and 7350 will occur. As other post, you need to install SQL Server 32bit. Or you can uninstall 32bit office
products and install 64bit Microsoft Access Database Engine. For creating Linked Server, if you run on a 64bit environment we need to download
Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable from Microsoft and install suitable version of software on the machine.

How to convert the MS access *.mdb files to Linux oracle?

Dear all,
I got a MS Access *.mdb file which has several tables inside
it. We will like to convert this file into our new oracle
database of Linux. How should I do to accomplish the converting
task?
null

A third way to convert Access to Oracle is to setup ODBC on the
client PC which has the access databases.
Start Access and open the database to the Table view.
For each table:
Chose File -> Save As/Export... -> External File or DB -> ODBC
Enter the table name for the table in Oracle (case used to be a
problem -- you may have to try uppercase or lowercase)
Choose the Oracle ODBC driver and login to the Oracle DB.
Should show you a progress bar while the data goes in.
You can get the client side Oracle stuff by downloading a trial
NT server or some other trail software. ODBC drivers are free.
As I understand it, the Access migration assistant will bring
across more than just the tables.
You should probably bring across the data into some temporary
tables first, then create your real tables and copy across the
data. That way you can fix things that were broken in the Access
version.
Cheers,
Colin

Why can't read access log file in real-time? (Oracle Weblogic Server 10.3)

We can't read access log file in real-time. If access log is rotation to new file so can read access log file but can't read real-time.
*** Oracle Weblogic Server versions 10 R3

what's your meaning? try this command "tail -f access.log".
Threre is a buffer about 8K for WebLogic to write the access info into the log files, so you can't see the access info untill the buffer is full.

How can I export the query result into access(*.mdb) file?

Dear all:
I want to export the query result displayed in jsp into excel file
and access file. And I have exported the result into excel format successfully, only one line should be added in the head of Jsp:
<%@ page contentType="application/vnd.ms-excel; charset=gb2312" %>
But how can I export it in access(*.mdb) file? I have replaced "excel"
with "access". But it can't achive my goal.
What should I do to achieve my goal?
Thanks!

The only reason your Excel export works is that Excel knows how to interpret comma separated values as an input file format. Access has no such beast.
If you absolutely must provide info in an mdb, one solution would be to create an ODBC datasource pointing to an empty mdb, then push data into it using the jdbc:odbc bridge, then make a copy of the file and stream it down to the browser. You may run into some ugly file locking items here - set the ODBC connection so it is not shared, and that might help.
This one is going to be ugly.
I suppose another approach would be to write a simple VB applicatin that uses automation to create an MDB, then stream that file down to the browser from your servlet. That would almost certainly be faster than the ODBC approach.

Error 7 occurred when trying to read a spreadsheet file in LabVIEW

Hi,
I got the message (in bold) below when I was trying to read a text file type. I also include a snippet of my block diagram.
Error 7 occurred at Open File+.vipen File
Possible reason(s):
LabVIEW: File not found. The file might have been moved or deleted, or
the file path might be incorrectly formatted for the operating system.
For example, use \ as path separators on Windows, : on Mac OS X, and /
on Linux. Verify that the path is correct using the command prompt or
file explorer.
I really appreciate if someone can help me. Thanks.

Hi Ravens Fan,
Thanks again for your valuable input. I replaced the string manipulation functions with a path control. I think it works coz I can see the waveform data, rms values etc. And then you said if it works, do a Path to String on that...and I'm not exactly sure how to do that. I attached a snippet of the modified vi. you may refer the original vi snippet in my previous email.
I appreciate it if you could help me again.
Thanks.

How do I read a RIFF file in LabView?

Hi,
I want to read data and header information from a RIFF file that is generated by a data recorder. It is saved as a .WAV file, but it contains extra information that I need to read. I have a data sheet that describes where I can find the header information and the data in the .WAV file, but I don't know how to extract it.
Please help!
Thanks
/ Patrik

Hi mrsound,
There is a VI 'Read from Binary File.vi' in LabVIEW which can read the file as binary data, if you know the exact position where the header information is, you can use it to extract it, just as the attach VI shows. Hope this helps.

How to change the path of an Access .mdb file @ runtime in Visual Studio 2012

Hello,
I'm hoping my question is simple enough to merit a quick answer. I will lay out the details:
I am writing a WindowsForms App in VB 2012. I have a Crystal Report that points to an Access .mdb at design time in order to get the proper structure and layout correctly.
However, during runtime, I need to point to a completely different .mdb file with the same identical structure. How do I do this? I've tried everything I could find on the net with no success and mostly because the answers are for C programmers. I mean, I can pretty much decipher it, but have gotten zero results.
Thank you for your time.
-Mike

ok. The code needs some small modifications.
I gave it a quick try and here is the InProc RAS SDK code which works for me. Add the assembly references to the app for all those assemblies used in the 'imports' statements in the code.

        Dim table_Old As New CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.Table()
        Dim table_New As New CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.Table()
        'Open the report object to initialize the ReportClientDocument
        Dim rd As New CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument()
        rd.Load("C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\Report1.rpt")
        ClientDoc = rd.ReportClientDocument()
        table_old = ClientDoc.Database.Tables(0)
        'Clone the original table in the report
        table_new = table_old.Clone(True)
        ' Get the connection information from the report document for the first table in the collection.
        logonPb = table_new.ConnectionInfo.Attributes("QE_LogonProperties")
'set the path for new mdb
        logonPb.Item("Database Name") = "C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\New folder\efashion1.mdb"
        ' Set a new table for the report, set the old table to the new one.
        ClientDoc.DatabaseController.SetTableLocation(table_old, table_new)
        'view the report
        CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = rd
    End Sub
End Class
Hope this clears the doubts

Unable to access media files on network via wirele...

Up until a month ago was able to access media files through wireless, Os is wins 7, HomeHub 2. the curious thing is no problem accessing internet wirelessly, Have reconfigured Homegroup network, changed WEP key, channel no,reset connected devises then for a couple of minutes I actually access my media files then nothing , and nothing since. unable to access Hub manager from desktop icon or internet browser now. One thing that might be pertinent is that my father has just had YouView installed around the time the problem started. Contacted the call centre for help they came back informing me that you cannot share files through a BT Hub ! last resort sent an email . Anyone out there can throw me a line I'd much appreciate it

Try a factory reset of the homehub by pressing a pin into the recess button on the rear for about 20 seconds. This will put your wireless passkey which is on the homehub label so you will need to either reconnect your devices to the default wireless passkey or change it back to what you had.

Reading NIFTI (MRI) files in Labview

Hi everybody,
Looking for any cue on how to work with NIFTI (*.nii) files in labview to make a brain atlas explorator based on MRI.
Thnaks for sharing,
Olivier

Hi,
LabVIEW does not have built in functionality for .nii files however I was checking in here that the file type uses a ANALYZE 7.5 format so, I thought the answer to this dilemma was to find a way to change the file into something that LabVIEW can read and I ran into this page. If you can successfully transform the file into a comma delimited text file you will be able to use the read/write from/to spreadsheet VIs.
Another possibility is to setup a communication channel to the MRI hardware through TCP/IP or any other method supported.
I hope this helps

Could not find file ERROR while connecting to access (mdb) file

I am getting the following error while connecting to the database:
javax.servlet.ServletException: [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Could not find file 'C:\WINNT\system32\Database1.mdb'.
Following is my code:
<%
     Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
     String database="jdbc:odbc:Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ=";
     String filename="D://BeaTemp//Database1";
     database+= filename.trim() + ";DriverID=22;READONLY=true}";
     Connection con=DriverManager.getConnection(database, "", "");
     Statement st=con.createStatement();
     ResultSet rs=st.executeQuery("select * from Database1.Employee");
     ResultSetMetaData rsmd=rs.getMetaData();
     while(rs.next()){
          for(int i=1;i<=rsmd.getColumnCount();i++) {
               out.println(rs.getString(i));
%>
What could be the problem..??
Thankx in advance..
Satish.

Got the solution.
The statement:
ResultSet rs=st.executeQuery("select * from Database1.Employee");
should be changed as:
ResultSet rs=st.executeQuery("select * from Employee");
Now, it is working fine.

Reading a csv file in Labview

I need to be able to read a 2D csv file and pull the data out by rows for use in an I/O write. I am working with a Lakeshore 331 temperature controller and need to be able to write parameters from a csv file to the temp controller. There are three columns of data; Set temp, Stabilization time, and Tolerance. I need to be able to switch between using tolerance data and a time switch to change a boolean to true. That true boolean needs to be able to be able to light a "Temp Stabilized Flag" and run a loop to the next row of data points were the previous row of written data points will be replaced by the following row. Basically, when one row of desired parameters is achieved, the program reads the next row of parameters and uses them as the standard until those parameter points are achieved. This process will continue until the entire list is exhausted. I am unable to find a way to read the csv by rows. My initial thought was to use the "Read Text" function and convert the string to the three seperate data points but I was unable to make that work. I have attached an example csv file, a rough draft file of what I need in order to write the data to the 331(which is entirely unfinished but provides a basic idea of where I am coming from), and my full project in case it helps. Please help me find a way to pull each row of data points individually in the previously mentioned cycle.
Thank You,
Matt

I suggest you look at using the subVI Spreadsheet String to Array from the palette to convert the csv file to an array of parameters then you can use a for loop to index through the data elements one row at a time. You may need to use an index primitive or internal loop to process the data.
If you check out the examples through the "Example Finder" you will most likely discover a good starting point for your problem.

Reading Large Matlab files into LabVIEW

Hi All,
I am using the 'Open Data Storage [MATLAB] block to read data from a mat file into MATLAB. The data is very large (in the order of millions). When I try to run my vi which is relatively simple to read in and manipulate the data, my LabVIEW said it does not have enough memory. Is there any way to around this problem without physically increasing computer memory.
Thanks in advance for any help and assistance.
Chris

Hi Chris,
Did the 'not enough memory' happen on 'Open Data Storage' or 'Read Data' ?
If it happened on the 'Read Data', you might want to try specifying 'index/count' inputs of the 'Read Data' to read channel values chunk by chunk.
