data drop-down list
Jason Murthy - 11:39am Feb 14, 2005 Pacific
Hello,
I am trying to use the data drop-down list from the custom library. I enter the name of my data connection and the other 2 variables in quotes when they are initialized, just like the example says to, but it still doesn't work. Anyone have any thoughts?
Thanks,
Jason

I am having trouble (sleepless nights) with populating a drop-down list from an Access Database. The result is: I only get the first record from the data connection. So the connection works but I cannot go through the other records. Maybe there is an other way to do this.
I am trying to selectively fill a form with data from an MS-access database.
I hope someone can help me.

If you email the access DB and the form to [email protected], I will try to take a look at it for you.

Unable to read data in Excel 2010/2013 from encrypted Access 2010/2013 database

A customer has an Access database (.accdb), which was encrypted/given a database password in Access 2013. It should be possible to read that data from Excel 2010/2013, but when clicking on Data-->From Access
and the correct path is put in and the correct database password has been entered, Excel just keeps prompting for the database password. This happens with both Excel 2010 and 2013.
The database password supplied is correct as evidenced by opening the database in Access 2013 using the same database password.
A colleague in a separate company has found that a separate .accdb file he has recently encrypted also has the same problem as above, yet a .accdb file encrypted ages ago
is readable from Excel.
How do I get Excel 2010/2013 to read the data from the encrypted .accdb file, please?

Since Access 2010 the encryption algorithm has changed:
Source
Follow the next steps to apply an encryption method that will allow you to (programmatically) connect to the database:
1. Decrypt the database
2. Change the encryption method:
   - In Access Options select 'Client Settings'
   - Scroll down to section 'Advanced'
   - 'Encryption Method': select option 'Use legacy encryption (..'
   - Click 'OK'
3. Encrypt the database
Hope this helps.

Errors executing bulk query when updating a Sharepoint Linked List from Access

Hi all,
I have a Sharepoint list that is a Linked List with MS Access. It has just under 5,000 items (4,864), thus meaning it avoids the reduction in functionality lists of greater than 5,000 items have.
Among the list are five calculated columns. These take the information from another column (different employee numbers), and by using a formula produce a clickable link to my company's Directory page, where that particular employee's info is displayed. I'm
not sure if these five columns are relevant to my query, but I'm mentioning them in case.
My problem is this: Frequently when I run any query on the list that updates the list, I get this error: "There were errors executing the bulk query or sending the data to the server. Reconnect the tables to resolve the
conflicts or discard the pending changes".
When I review the errors, it says they conflict with errors a previous user made (with that previous user being me). It frequently highlights several columns, despite the info in them being identical, and the calculated columns (with the original showing
the value they contained and the new showing #VALUE! (as Access can't display the formulas).
However, if I click Retry All Changes, all the update stick and everything seems fine. Why is this happening? It's proving very annoying and is really stopping the automation of my large number of queries. A list of 5000 items isn't particular big (and they've
got roughly 100 columns, although I didn't think that was too large either, given Excel's 200+ column limit).
Is this due to poor query design and SQL? Is this due to connectivity issues (which I doubt, as my line seems perfect)? Is this due to Access tripping over itself and not executing the update on each row in the table, but rather executing them concurrently
and locking itself up? I'm at wit's end about it and really need to get this sorted.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Hi amartin903,
According to your description, my understanding is that you got an error when you used a linked list from Access.
The table that you are updating is a linked table that does not have a primary key or a unique index. Or, the query or the form is based on a linked table that does not have a primary key or a unique index. Please add the primary key or a unique index.
Here is a similar post, please take a look at:

Reading a multilevel list from MS Word Doc and converting it into an HTML nested list using C#

I can achieve the above for a single level list as follows:
foreach (Paragraph item in app.Selection.Range.ListParagraphs)
item.Range.InsertBefore("<li>");
item.Range.InsertAfter("</li>");
Using C#, how can I programmatically convert a multilevel list (like the following) in a Word doc to a nested HTML list? Note: The bullet icons are not important. Thanks..Nam
List from Word Doc:
A
B
C
D
E
F
G
H
I

Hi Nam,
>>how can we programmatically determine the start and end elements of the sub-list with elements C,DE,F,G in the example of my original post? <<
We can check the begin and end elements of the sub-list by the
ListLevelNumber. For example, the sub-list's ListLevelNumber start at 2 by default. Here is the code to find the begin element for your reference:
Sub FindBeginSubElement()
For i = 1 To Selection.Range.ListParagraphs.Count
If Selection.Range.ListParagraphs(i).Range.ListFormat.ListLevelNumber = 2 Then
Debug.Print "begin sub element:" & Selection.Range.ListParagraphs(i).Range.Text
Exit Sub
End If
Next i
End Sub
Also we can loop the selection in reverse order to find the end element for the sub-list.
Hope it is helpful.

Reading date/time type from Microsoft Access in LabWindows 7.1

Hi,
I'm afraid I'm having some trouble reading some date information from an MS Access table. I assume it's returned as a string (and this may be my first mistake) but when I use DBBindColChar I just get garbage information. This is the code I'm using:
sprintf(queryString, "SELECT date_time, type, serial_number, Voltage_at_G5_V, Voltage_at_G6_V \
                        FROM gain \
                        WHERE serial_number=%lf \
                        ORDER by date_time", *serialNumber);
followed by...
queryHandle = DBActivateSQL (pmtDataHandle, queryString);
and....
    resCode = DBBindColChar (queryHandle, 1, 22, internal_date, &dateStatus, "");
resCode = DBBindColChar (queryHandle, 2, 4, internal_type, &typeStatus, "");
resCode = DBBindColDouble (queryHandle, 3, internalSerialNumber, &serialNumberStatus);
resCode = DBBindColDouble (queryHandle, 4, &g5VRead, &g5VStatus);
resCode = DBBindColDouble (queryHandle, 5, &g6VRead, &g6VStatus);
Is there anything special about the type date/time that I am not taking care of? All of the other columns read back fine....
Thanks in advance

Hide Custom Address List from GAL Exchange 2010 SP2

So, here is the scenario.
I have a list of contacts that I only want 12 users to be able to see. I have read up on the Address Book Policies, however, what I am REALLY wanting to do is to create an address list of the contacts, and hide THAT from the gal. I could then
create a new GAL/Address Book Policy that includes the new address list of contacts, and essentially make the GAL + Contacts address list visible to that group of 12.
Is this possible? It seems silly to apply a new Address Book Policy to 3000 users, would rather apply a new policy to the 12 users that need to see the contact info

See if the following discussions of Address Book Policies answer your questions:

Problem to acces linked table from Microsoft Access 2010

We have a couple of MS access databases that have linked tables from oracle Database. When the user try to view the content of the table it gets an error saying that the table or view does not exist.
But if i create a new MS access db and link the same tables with the same user, we are able to view the content of the table. So it does not seem to be related to permissions...
If we delete the linked table and try to re-attached them we got the same error
Anyone have a clue ?

It looks like this is a question that should be addressed in our ORACLE ODBC community, since it has to to with MS Access links to an Oracle DB via (I presume) an Oracle ODBC driver.
This community is for Oracle Heterogeneous Gateways. That is, Oracle DB links into 3rd party databases.
Thanks!

InfoPath 2013 customized forms no longer working after linking Sharepoint 2010 list to MS Access 2013 database

Hello,
I am having trouble with my infopath form now that I have linked my Sharepoint list to an Access database.
Background: I created a simple SharePoint list and a few workflows to have users submit requests for changes to my organization's EMR system and have those requests be approved by the appropriate manager/department. I used
InfoPath to customize my form so that it would hide/show different portions depending on what the user selected. The form has 3 views: NewItem, EditItem, ViewItem.
Issue: The form and workflows were working great until I linked my SharePoint list to an access database so that I could run queries and reports using that information. Now when I click "Add New Item" on my Sharepoint site,
the correct form opens but the fields do not allow me to input any data and some of the formatting for the form has changed (ie: the text boxe fields are no longer centered. I opened the form in InfoPath and it displays perfectly fine in there but
not once it's published to the site) .
The only way that I've been able to input new data is using Datasheet view in SharePoint.
Is there a way to fix this issue? I really need to be able to have the customized forms for users to fill out the information since most users are not familiar enough with SharePoint to expect them to be able to use Datasheet view to submit their requests.
Again, I'm using InfoPath 2013, Access 2013 & SharePoint Server 2010
If the issue cannot be fixed, how can I disconnect or unlink my SharePoint list from the Access database because when I cliecked on "delete list" from inside Access, a warning popped up stating that it will also delete the list off of SharePoint
as well. If I can get the list back to the state it was in before linking to Access then I'll be happy enough to export it excel and then importh the excel file to Access as a work around for reporting purposes since I don't have to run the reports that
often.
Any insight would be very helpful!!

Hi Bostic,
I tested the same scenario per your post in my environment, however the InfoPath form was not affected if I used the list as external data in Access database.
The issue may be due to the browser you used.
I recommend to verify the things below:
Change another browser to see how it works.
Add the site to the trusted zone and add to compatibility settings in Internet Explorer.
Test with a new list to narrow down the issue scope.
As a workaround, you can save the list as a template including content, and then create a new list based on this template.

Access 2010 Linked to Sharepoint online - avoid direct access to sharepoint stored data

Hello,
I have an access 2010 application (front end) connected to SharePoint online team site (as back end).
I wish to allow my users to work with the front end but to avoid direct access to the data on SharePoint Online.
The user will open the access application and it will auto connect & work with SharePoint online.
How can I implement this?
Thank you for your help

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to use Access 2010 to connect the SharePoint Online data.
In Access 2010, you can connect the SharePoint list as a external datasource like the capture below. It will need to input url and user credentials to access SharePoint site in the wizard. If you want to connect automatically, you will need write some custom
Micro code to achieve it.
If you have some question about Micro code to connect SharePoint list automatically, I suggest you can create a new thread in Access Development, you will get more detailed information from there.

Reading parameters lists from a text file

Hi All,
Using CR XI R2 with VB6 and external .rpt files - - - - -
In a VB6 app I use VB to loop through my tables to create dynamic parameter lists (CR XI is limited to the number of parameters it can create from the table). This works well but each time the user refreshes the report the same code is run to re-create the parameter list which is redundant and slows down the report(s).
Is it possible to manually create a series of text files - say each morning - and then read the parameter lists from the text file(s) at runtime instead of doing it on the fly each time?
Thanks in advance!
Peter Tyler

I find this sentence confusing:
Is it possible to manually create a series of text files - say each morning - and then read the parameter lists from the text file(s) at runtime instead of doing it on the fly each time?
Typically, runtime means on the fly - I think...
So, I'm not sure if you are trying to read a saved data report and filter that saved data so that you do not have to hit the database(?).
Creating a text file is beyond the support of this forum, though that should be a trivial exercise. Reading a text file and passing the results to a parameter is the same thing you are doing already, so I'm not sure where the hang up would be here(?)
Or - rather than creating a text file, why not create a temp table and query it as you do when you loop through the tables to create dynamic parameter lists(?).
I'm pretty lost here...

How to populate a sharepoint 2010 list from the active directory. How to populate a sharepoint 2010 list with all sharepoint user profiles

How to populate a sharepoint 2010 from the active directory.
I want a list of all the computers in the active directory,
another one with all users.
I want also to populate a sharepoint 2010 list from the sharepoint user profiles.
Thanks

While
the contacts list is usually filled out for contacts that are outside the company, there are times when you would use a contacts list to store internal and external resources. Wouldn’t it be nice if you didn’t have to re-type your internal contacts’
information that are already in the system? Now you can with a little InfoPath customization on the contacts list.
Here’s our plan:
Create the contacts list, and open in InfoPath
Create a data connection to the User Profile web service
Customize the form adding some text, a people picker and a button
Create InfoPath rules that will populate the contact fields from the user fields in the User Profile store
Let’s get going! Before we begin, make sure you have InfoPath 2010 installed locally on your computer. I also want to give credit Laura
Rogers and Darvish Shadravan’s book Using
Microsoft InfoPath 2010 with Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Step by Step. I know it looks like a lot of steps, but it’s easy once you get the hang of it.
So obviously we need a contacts list. If you don’t already have one, go to the SharePoint site where it will live, and create a contacts list.
From the list, click the List tab on the ribbon, then click Customize form:
So now we have our form open in InfoPath 2010. Let’s add our elements to the form.
Above all the fields, let’s add some text instructing users what to do with the the field we’re about to add (.e.g To enter an existing user’s information, choose the user below).
Insert a people picker control by clicking the Person/Group Picker control in the Controls section of the ribbon. This will add a column to the contacts list called group.
Below the people picker, insert a button control from the same section of the ribbon as above. With the button still highlighted, click the Control Tools|Properties tab on the ribbon.
Then in the Label box, change the text to something more appropriate to our task (e.g. Click here to load user data!).
You can drag the button control a little larger to account for the text.
We should end up with something like this:
Before we can populate the fields with user data, we need to create a connection to the User Profile Service.
Add a data connection to the User Profile Service
Click the Data tab on the ribbon, and click the option From Web Service, and From SOAP Web Service.
For the location, enter the URL of your SharePoint site in the following format – http://<site url>/_vti_bin/UserProfileService.asmx?WSDL. Click Next.
Note - for the URL, it can be any SharePoint site URL, not just to the site where your list is.
For the operation, choose GetUserProfileByName. Click Next.
Click Next on the next two screens.
On the final screen, uncheck the box for “Automatically retrieve data when form is opened”. This is because we are going to retrieve the data when the button is clicked, also for performance reasons.
Now we need to wire up the actions on our button to populate the fields with the information for the user in the people picker control.
Tell the form to read the user from the people picker control
Click the Home tab on the ribbon.
Click the button control we created, and under the Rules section of the ribbon, click Manage Rules. Notice the pane appear on the far right.
In the Rules pane, click New –> Action. Change the name to something like “Query and load user data”.
Leave the condition to default (none – rule runs when button is clicked).
Click the Add button next to “Run these actions:”, and choose “Set a field’s value”.
For Field, click the button on the right to load the select a field dialog. Click the Show advanced view on the bottom. At the top, click the drop down and choose the GetUserProfileByName
(Secondary) option. Expand myFields and queryFields to the last option and highlightAccountName. Click ok.
For Value, click the formula icon. On the formula screen, click the Insert Field or Group button. Again click the show advanced view link, but this time leave the data
connection as Main. Expand dataFields, then mySharePointListItem_RW. At the bottom you should see a folder called group (the people picker control we just added to the form). Expand this, then pc:Person,
and highlightAccountId. Click Ok twice to get back to the Rules pane.
If we didn’t do this and just queried the user profile service, it would load the data of the currently logged in user. So we need to tell the form what user to load the data for. We take the AccountID field from the people
picker control and inject into the AccountName query field of the User Profile Service data connection.
Load the user profile service information for the chosen user
Click the Add button next to “Run these actions:”, and choose Query for data.
In the popup, for Data connection, click the one we created earlier – GetUserProfileByName and clickOk.
We’re closing in on our goal. Let’s see our progress. We should see something like this:
Now that we have the user’s data read into the form, we can populate the fields in the contact form. The number of steps to complete will depend on how many fields you want to populate. We need to add an action step for
each field. I’ll show you one example and then you will just repeat the steps for the other fields. Let’s update the Job Title field.
Populate the contact form fields with existing user’s data
Click the Add button next to “Run these actions:”, and choose “Set a field’s value”.
For Field, click the button on the right to load the select a field dialog. Highlight the field Job Title.
For Value, click the formula icon. On the formula screen, click the Insert Field or Group button. Click the Show advanced view on the bottom. At the top, click the
drop down and choose theGetUserProfileByName (Secondary) option. Expand the fields all the way down until you see the Value field. Highlight it but don’t click ok, but click the Filter
Data button, then Add.
For the first dropdown that says Value, choose Select a field or group. The value field will be highlighted, but click the field Name field
under PropertyData. Click Ok.
In the blank field after “is equal to”, click in the box and choose Type text. Then type the text Title.
Click ok until you get back to the Manage Rules pane. The last previous screen will look like this.
We’re going to update common fields that are in the user’s profile, and likely from Active Directory. You can update fields like first and last name, company, mobile and work phone number, etc. For the other fields, the
steps are the same except the Field you choose to update from the form, and the very last step where you enter the text will change. Here’s what the rules look like when we’re done:
We’re all done, good work! You can preview the form and try it now. Click Ctrl+Shift+B to preview the form. Once you’re satisfied, you can publish the form back to the library. Click File –> Quick
Publish. Once it’s done, you will get confirmation:
Now open your form in SharePoint. From the contact list, click Add new item. Type in a name, and click the button and watch the magic happen!
