Reading currency field in Access database

I am working on a Director project that will be reading from
an MS
Access database. Some of the fields in the DB are formatted
as currency.
I have tried the dmmMBD and DAO xtras and neither one seems
to return
any data from these fields. I just get and empty string.
I can see the other data types (strings and integers). Am I
missing
something?

Hey Dave,
If you still have my mail, can you contact me off-list?

Update a currency field in Access

When I enter .50 on the form the results in the database is
1.00. If I change 1.00 to 2.00 the change is sent to the database.
The problem seems to be that the database is rounding the field.
For this particular application the user needs to be able to enter
amounts as small as .25. The field in the database is set to
currency with 2 decimal places.
The update code follows. Thank you in advance for your help.

I changed the cfqueryparam tag as follows:
fee_amount = <cfqueryparam value="#form.fee_amount#"
cfsqltype="cf_sql_decimal" />,
I thought this would sovle the probme, however, I receive
this error now:
Error Executing Database Query.
[Macromedia][SequeLink JDBC Driver][ODBC
Socket][Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver]Optional feature
not implemented
The error occurred in
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\spl_web_site\public_records\staff_forms\update.cfm:
line 33
31 : staff_fname = <cfqueryparam
value="#form.staff_fname#" cfsqltype="cf_sql_varchar" />,
32 : staff_ph_ext = <cfqueryparam
value="#form.staff_ph_ext#" cfsqltype="cf_sql_varchar" />
33 : WHERE cust_id = <cfqueryparam value="#form.cust_id#"
cfsqltype="cf_sql_numeric" />
34 : </cfquery>
35 :
Now there seems to be an error on the cust_id field which is
an auto number in the database.

Link dropdown choice to multiple text fields from access database

Is there anyway to link the choice of a dropdown field so it populates other text fields?
Example:
I have created a Data Connection from a MS Access Database for a drop down list which is CompanyName. When I choose the company name I would like it to populate First Name, Last Name, Email, Adress, etc. Does this require a significant amount of code to do...and if so does anyone have a good book suggestion to learn the code for something like this?
Any help in solving this problem is greatly appreciate. I have searched everywhere and found no conclusive answer. Or maybe I am just searching in the wrong place? Thanks for your help.

You will have to make another data connection and create a SQL call to the DB that will incorporate the selection made in the DDList. This will involve code. There is a sample wriiten by Stefan Cameron at this location:

Conversion problems with Memo field in Access database

I have the latest version of Migration Workbench and the Access 2000 plug-in.
I am using an ODBC driver, and the SQL conversion requirements for converting
to a native driver seem too time and labor intensive to be feasable.
My problem is that I have some "Memo" columns in my Access database containing
over 200,000 rows that I need converted to Oracle. This is something I'm going
to need to do over-and-over again for different Access databases.
I gave up on mapping the Access "Memo" datatypes to Oracle "Clob" datatypes. It
was either taking forever or taking WAY too long.
Then I tried mapping the Access "Memo" datatypes to "Varchar2(4000)" and although
it completed it took longer than my customer will like (think 1/2 an hour just for
all the rows of one memo column in one table).
Finally I tried going into the original Access database and converting the "Memo"
column into a "Text" column. It wouldn't work, I kept getting the error:
=====
Microsoft Access can't change the data type.
There isn't enough disk space or memory.
=====
even though I had over 10GB of free disk space and only 1/3 of my memory was being
used. I assume this is a memory-max limitation in Access 2000.
Any suggestions for speeding the conversion? Could I stagger using Migration workbench
to create the tables. . .then use SQL*Loader to load the data. . .then use Migration
workbench again to put in the idexes, etc? Would this be faster even if it worked?
Thanks,
Aaron Chawla

The above found to give errors... how from Access Currency field like price=
rs.getString(5)
I populate a hidden field ? How do it in MySQL ?
Servlets upon compilation(or update) needed server restart to rerun (updated) ?

if I insert
rs.getString(5) // field5 = currency field MS-Access DB
it doesn't work, but if insert
"8.9"
work in value of hidden field , where error ?
out.println("<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"price" + plantNo + "\" value=\"" + rs.getString(5) + "\">"); // "8.9"

Access MS Access database on remote computer (shared folder)

Hello,
I need some help.
I've made a program and it works fine on my computer, but multiple users will be using program simultaneously, each one on his own computer conected over local network to mine computer (database is on my computer in shared folder).
When I try to access data on database (path is path of shared folder) i'm getting error 5013 (no database). The problem occurs only when I'm trying to read something from MS access database but not if I try to read data from .txt file, then it works fine...
I'm using ADO Tools
Can someone help me, I would be very greatful?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thanks to you Dennis I've managed to figure it out.
I'll explain this for future generations
1) I've created DSN. To do that open ODBC Data Source Administrator:
- for 64 bit app C:\Windows\System32\odbcad32.exe
- for 32 bit app C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe
In System DSN tab click Add.. then choose Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb) (If you do not have this on list download that drivers from web) --> FINISH.
Enter Data Source Name (mine is Test2) --> Select... --> now because the MS Access database is on shared folder on remote PC go to Network... --> Browse... and select that shared folder --> Finish. Now you'll see all .mdb files on that folder and you choose your database --> OK --> OK --> OK
2) Now in block diagram you connect string "DSN=your_dsn_name;" (mine was Test2) to ConnectionString connector of ADO Connection Open.vi
It worked for me.

Flash and Microsft Access Database

How does a Flash movie write to and read from a Microsoft
Access Database?

you will need to use an external server side file like
asp,php etc. The procedure will be the folowing:
1. sending variables you want to write into your DB from
flash to your server side page. You are going to do that with
sendAndLoad method.
2. recieve the variables in your serever side page and insert
them into your DB

How can I read the data type of a field in an MS Access database

I need to be able to determine if a field in an Access database is of a certain data type, and if it isn't, to change it to what it should be.
I can't seem to find any way of reading the data type of any field in any table - can anyone give me a metod of getting this info?
Thanks

Does <cfdbinfo> work for Access DBs?
You might be better off asking this on a MS Access forum. It's more of an Access issue than a CF one.

Update a field in an access database via TestStand

I want to read a value from a numeric field in an MS Access database, increment that value by one, and then update the database record that I got the value from with the new value. I am able to execute an Open Database step, execute a Open SQL Statement step with a SELECT query, execute a "Get" operation in a Data Operation step to get the value into a TestStand variable, and increment the value, but I'm at a loss for how to update the databse record with the incremented value.
I tried to execute another Open SQL Statement step with an UPDATE statement, but I get a "Specified value does not have the expected type." error. The TestStand variable type is a number, and the Data Type of the database field is Number. I've tried using long integer, double, and decimal as field sizes, but they all give me the same error.
I also tried to execute a "Set" operation with another Data Operation step against the original Statement Handle. When I do this, the Data Operation runs without error, but when I run a Close SQL Statement step against the statement handle I get an "ADODB.Recordset: Operation is not allowed in this context." error.
Any help would be appreciated.

Scripter -
When you try to do a Set and Put, it is always good to explicitly set the statement's cursor type to something other than forward only, like keyset, and the lock type to something other than read-only. See if that helps...

Problem in reading/writing byte array in Access database! PLEASE HELP!!

Hi,
I want to store a signature, which is in form of a byte array, in OLE Object field in MS Access database. I want then to retrieve this signature and verify it. The problem is that the retrieved byte array is not identical to the stored (original) one, and therefore, verifying the signature fails! Any help would be much appreciated as I can't proceed in my project without solving this problem. Here is the code to do the above mentioned functionality:
//This part stores the signature (VT) in the table TTPTrans
try
{ con = connect();
ps = con.prepareStatement("UPDATE TTPTrans SET VT = ?, SigVT = ? WHERE TransID = ?");
ps.setBinaryStream(1, new ByteArrayInputStream(vt), vt.length);
ps.setBinaryStream(2, new ByteArrayInputStream(sigvt), sigvt.length);
ps.setString(3, tID);
ps.executeUpdate();
ps.close();
con.close();
catch (Exception e)
{ System.err.println(e.getMessage());
e.printStackTrace();
//This part retrive the signature from the table in the byte array o1:
ResultSet result;
byte[] o1 = null;
byte[] o2 = null;
try
{ con = connect();
Statement statement = con.createStatement();
result = statement.executeQuery("SELECT VT, SigVT" +
" FROM TTPTrans" +
" WHERE TransID = " + "'" +
transID + "'");
while (result.next()) {
o1 = result.getBytes("VT");
o2 = result.getBytes("SigVT");
statement.close();
con.close();
catch(Exception e)
{ System.err.println(e.getMessage());
e.printStackTrace();
}

In the following code, I use a ASN1SDSSSignature class, which is a subclass that I created from the Siganture class, to create and verify an SDSS signature. The ASN1SDSSSignature has two ASN1Integer class variables:
signcryption = token.getSigncryption();
sig.initVerify(ttpCert);
sig.update(receivedVT);
boolean verified = sig.verify(receivedSigVT);
if(!verified)
System.err.println("TTP signatire on received token invalid. ");
notify()
return;
Where receivedVT and receivedSigVT are the byte arrays retrieved from th database. The following exception is thrown when I run the application:
ASN1 type mismatch!
Expected: codec.asn1.ASN1Integer
In: ASN1SDSSSignature
At index 0
Got tag: 4 and Class: 0
I hope this would clarify the situation and thanks in advance for any comments you may post.

Create separate PDF files from MS Access Database report field

In the development or update of pipe specifications the valve specifications (database records) that are associated with the piping specification are updated or corrected. These revised valve specifications are then exported as a group through the Access Report Print to PDF file with the piping specification name for the file name. Each separate valve specification within this single file needs to have its own PDF Valve spec file name so that each valve spec can be attached to project engineering documents or for purchasing. All of the valves are coded in the in the database and projects with this general description, V-?????? with each question mark representing a descriptive part of the valve. MS Access database has this V-?????? field name for every valve record in this large database. The current practice is extract from the single PDF file page thumbnails and rename every extracted file. With over 1000 valve records being updated, the task is time consuming.

These are the settings.

Access Database Opens in Read Only for Users

I just moved an Access Database to a new server (from Server 2003 to Server 2012). From the server, using Office 2010, I can open the database without issue but, if a user try's to open the same database from either a shortcut or mapped with Office 2010,
they get the message that the database is Read Only. Did I miss a step in moving the database to the new server? Thanks

Hi,
Did your user get the error message "You are trying to open a read-only database..."? If it was, please try the following method:
On the desktop, double-click My Computer.
Locate the Microsoft Access database that you moved.
Right-click the database name, and then click Properties.
In the Properties dialog box, clear the Read-only check box under
Attributes.
Click OK to apply the change.
Open your database in Access.

Hope it's helpful.

How to read/write from Access database

Hi everybody
I need a little help for doing what I wrote in the topic!
I use LabVIEW 6i student edition, do Ireally need to install the Database
connectivity toolkit?

Hi Vicio,
There are a couple of different methods to communicate with Access in LabVIEW, and some are more difficult than others. You can use ActiveX Automation to open Microsoft Access and control many aspects of the Access Application. For actual database manipulation however, the Access automation classes rely upon the Microsoft DAO (Data Access Object) and/or ADO (ActiveX Data Object) classes. These classes can be used independently or through the Access automation classes to read and write data into an Access database. These classes can be difficult to use and may require a fair amount of SQL knowledge to accomplish a complicated task. Attached is a very simple example of how you can use DAO from the Access automation classes to read an Access table.
For more information about the Microsoft Access automation classes, DAO or ADO classes refer to the Microsoft website and Developer Network:
MSDN
It is also possible to use Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) communication between LabVIEW and Access. DDE is a Microsoft technology that preceded COM and ActiveX. DDE is NOT recommended as it is considered by most to be obsolete. However, examples still ship with LabVIEW that demonstrate how to communicate with MS Access using DDE. The examples are located in ..\LabVIEW\examples\comm\access.llb
Note: The LabVIEW Database Connectivity Toolset is the preferred method of database communication with LabVIEW. The LabVIEW Database Connectivity Toolset offers many powerful tools and extended capabilites for quickly accessing databases. The LabVIEW Database Connectivity Toolset offers connectivity to most popular databases through Microsoft ADO technology, complete SQL Functionality, and the ability to save records in XML format. It provides both easy-to-use and advanced functions to allow common database operations as well as detailed database accessibility. The LabVIEW Database Connectivity Toolset is sold separately or in the LabVIEW Enterprise Connectivity Toolset along with the LabVIEW Statistical Process Toolkit and the LabVIEW Internet Developers Toolkit.

Linking to an Access Database (accdb) - calculated field in query

Using Crystal Report v 14 we have a problem linking to an Access 2010 database (accdb file format).
We created a query in the Access database with a calculated field that we want to use to link with Great Pllains database. We can see the query using the database expert and the OLEDB (ADO) data source. The problem is that the calculated field in the Access query does not show in the link manager.
What is the best wat to link an Access table that has a job number containing hyphens (111-222-333) with the other database that has the job number stored without hyphens (111222333)? Why does our query solution not work?

Hi,
I'm not sure if this can be handled at the Database query level, however this can surely be handled from the report level.
You would need to insert a subreport with Great Pllains as its datasource. The Main report's data source would be the access table.
Next, in the Main report you would need to create a formula to remove the hyphens from the string and convert it back to number. Use this formula:
tonumber(replace(,"-",""));
You can then palce this formula in the details section/group section (which ever is applicable) and then link the subreports's job number field with this formula field. A record selection formula is automatically added in the subreport when you do so.
Also, make sure the sub-report is place in the same section this formula field is placed in, otherwise you can get unexpected results.
Hope this helps!

How to store the data read from excel using java code in Ms access database

Hi. I wrote a code to read the data from excel. May i know how can i save it to Ms access database using java. Also i have many excels. So i should not connect the database using DSN. So is there any other way to achieve this?
