Specify Access Database in RemoteApp RDP

I am trying to get Access to open a specific file when launching a RemoteApp.  I am using the following argument when creating the RDP.
 D:\Programs\%USERNAME%\folder\file.ade
Access reports that the file is not available.   It works through a shortcut on the desktop.  Does RemoteApp not recognize the %USERNAME%? 
P.S.  I have tried creating a installer with the same results. 

I have followed Michael Rosén's idea and checked that LSU-Tigers was right when he said that the black command window kept opened, which is somewhat annoying. The fix for this and, hence the solution for per-user environment variables restriction is:
1) Instead of executing a batch which contains the command line call to MSACCESS.EXE, simply execute %COMSPEC%, which is an environment variable that resolves to CMD.EXE executable.
2) As command line arguments use the following:
    /C "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office 12\MSACCESS.EXE" %APPDATA%\Your-Company\YOURDATABASE.ADE
The only restriction that I have found is that the location for YOURDATABASE.ADE cannot contain any space along the path, nor in the file itself. We use %APPDATA% instead of %USERNAME% but I suppose it will work also with %USERNAME% since both are user envirionment variables.
If your access database does not show up, and it seems nothing works, you can temporarily change /C parameter and use /K parameter so that CMD.EXE does not shut itself after having launched the second process. You can read the error message in the command prompt. If you use /C parameter cmd.exe shuts down after the error is shown and you cannot see anything (maybe only a black box blink).
Hope that helps. Regards.

  • SQL Query with MS-Access Database

    Hi,
    I have linked my oracle database with MS-Access via a DB LINK. i can access the data from MS-ACCESS, but i have a problem that when i specify the column name or define a where clause in my query it gives me the error ORA-00904: invalid identfier ..
    This query fetch the data without any problem SELECT * FROM TBLREPORT@M_ACCESS but when i run SELECT EMP_ID FROM TBLREPORT@M_ACCESS it gives me the error i mentioned above. (Column name have No problem or mistake of spelling even CASE)
    also when i try to put where clause in the query it gives me same error SELECT * FROM TBLREPORT@M_ACCESS WHERE EMP_ID = '100' (Error)
    is there any change in SQL query for ACCESS database ??
    any clue
    Regards
    Rehman

    Are column/table names in access case sensitive? Issue
    DESC TBLREPORT@M_ACCESS If column EMP_ID actual name shows up in mixed/lower case, enclose it in double quotes and use the exact case. E.g., if column name shows up as Emp_Id, use:
    SELECT "Emp_Id" FROM TBLREPORT@M_ACCESSSY.

  • How to reference MS Access database in ColdFusion MX 7 on 64-bit Windows

    I am migrating customers from:
    Windows 2000 Server (fully patched)
    Internet Information Services (IIS) 5
    ColdFusion 5
    to:
    Windows Server 2003 Standard x64 Edition (fully patched)
    Internet Information Services (IIS) 6 (running in 32-bit
    mode)
    ColdFusion MX 7 (7.0.2) Standard
    Unfortunately, some of these existing customers are still
    using Microsoft Access databases instead of SQL Server. Having all
    of these existing customers migrate to SQL Server is not yet
    practical. On the old Windows 2000 / ColdFusion 5 server, they are
    using OLE DB data sources to reference the MS Access databases
    using the "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" provider. None are configured
    to use ODBC drivers when referencing MS Access or SQL Server.
    I have yet to figure out how to get ColdFusion MX 7 to:
    - Create a data source that references MS Access databases on
    64-bit Windows.
    - Reference an existing MS Access data source created with
    the 32-bit version of the ODBC Data Source Manager on 64-bit
    Windows.
    A bit of background information regarding MS Access on 64-bit
    Windows:
    - At the time of this writing, Microsoft has not
    created/released 64-bit drivers for Microsoft Access and it's
    unlikely they ever will, for understandable reasons.
    - Contrary to seemingly popular belief, the Microsoft Jet 4.0
    Database Engine does exist on 64-bit Windows. See the following
    regarding version and file location information:
    How to obtain the latest service pack for the Microsoft Jet
    4.0 Database Engine
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/239114
    - You CAN create MS Access based data sources within 64-bit
    Windows, but they have to be made using the 32-bit version of "ODBC
    Data Source Manager". I'm assuming these DSNs may only be used by
    32-bit applications, but I have not tested that theory.
    32-bit data sources:
    ODBC Data Source Manager:
    %SystemRoot%\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe
    Registry location:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ODBC
    Default file DSN directory:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\ODBC\Data Sources
    64-bit data sources:
    ODBC Data Source Manager:
    %SystemRoot%\system32\odbcad32.exe
    Registry location:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC
    Default file DSN directory:
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\ODBC\Data Sources
    The 64-bit version of "ODBC Data Source Manager" (under
    Administrative Tools) only show "SQL Server" and/or "SQL Native
    Client" as options when creating new data sources, unless
    third-party software is installed that supplies additional drivers.
    The 32-bit version of "ODBC Data Source Manager" (by default,
    there is no shortcut for this in the Start menu) shows the typical
    drivers seen on 32-bit versions of Windows, including SQL Server,
    SQL Native Client, Microsoft Access, Excel, FoxPro, Paradox, etc.
    When using ColdFusion Administrator in ColdFusion MX 7.0.2 in
    64-bit Windows 2003 (IIS is running in 32-bit mode to allow
    ColdFusion MX 7 to function at all), two problems are encountered
    when dealing with MS Access (and presumably other 32-bit drivers).
    In both cases, ColdFusion is trying to reference the registry
    location for 64-bit data sources instead of 32-bit:
    1. Creating a new data source within ColdFusion
    Administrator:
    Data Source Name: whatever
    Driver: Microsoft Access
    CF Data Source Name: whatever
    Database file: (physical path to whatever.mdb)
    (other settings are irrelvant for this example)
    Error generated when submitting:
    Unable to update the NT registry.
    Cannot open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBC.INI\ODBC
    Data Sources: Windows error number 5 occurred.Access is denied.
    ColdFusion stores the data source, however a "verify"
    generates the following error:
    Connection verification failed for data source: whatever
    java.sql.SQLException: [Macromedia][SequeLink JDBC
    Driver][ODBC Socket]internal error: Data source name not found and
    no default driver specified
    The root cause was that: java.sql.SQLException:
    [Macromedia][SequeLink JDBC Driver][ODBC Socket]internal error:
    Data source name not found and no default driver specified
    2. Creating the data source using the 32-bit version of "ODBC
    Data Source Manager" then trying to reference it with ColdFusion:
    ODBC Data Source Manager:
    System DSN or File DSN:
    Name: whatever
    Driver: Microsoft Access Driver (.mdb)
    Database: (physical path to whatever.mdb)
    (creation is successful within ODBC Data Source Manager)
    Reference the above DSN within ColdFusion Administrator:
    Data Source Name: whatever
    Driver: ODBC Socket
    Error generated when submitting:
    Error accessing available odbc datasources. - Cannot open
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBC.INI\ODBC Data Sources:
    Windows error 2 occurred.The system cannot find the file specified.
    ColdFusion MX 7 can't find the 32-bit data source on 64-bit
    Windows because it's looking for it in the wrong registry location.
    Can ColdFusion MX 7 be configured to look in
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ODBC
    instead of
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC
    on a 64-bit Windows machine?

    Paul,
    Thanks for the insight on this. Regarding the initial problem
    I ran into with creating Access based DSNs, very early-on, I
    noticed there were two different driver options for Access
    displayed within ColdFusion MX 7 Administrator:
    Microsoft Access
    Microsoft Access with Unicode
    For reasons I'm am still baffled over, I somehow completely
    forgot about and through the wonders of apparent tunnel vision,
    completely overlooked the "Microsoft Access with Unicode" driver
    option when I was running through my tests.
    At your seemingly-obvious suggestion, I created a data source
    using the Microsoft Access with Unicode driver and it worked
    perfectly fine with the one customer's web site I'm using for
    testing (of course, this is a copy--the production site is still
    housed on the old ColdFusion 5 server). This obviously doesn't
    actually fix the underlying issue with ColdFusion looking in the
    wrong part of the registry on 64-bit Windows, but at least when it
    comes to dealing with Access databases, your suggestion of using
    the Microsoft Access with Unicode driver appears to be a functional
    work-around. So long as there aren't any surprises waiting for me,
    hopefully this will also work for the remaining ColdFusion sites I
    have to migrate that are using Access databases.
    Since you mentioned JDBC drivers in comparison with ODBC, I'm
    pointing out a couple of references in case they're helpful to
    anyone following this thread:
    ColdFusion MX 7 - About JDBC
    http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/7/htmldocs/00001736.htm
    Types of JDBC technology drivers
    http://java.sun.com/products/jdbc/driverdesc.html
    http://java.sun.com/products/jdbc/
    I don't actually develop anything in ColdFusion, so I'm
    dealing with all of this from a server administration standpoint
    since we do have some domain hosting customers that do develop or
    at least have existing ColdFusion based sites. I am all
    too-familiar with the caveats of using Access in any kind of
    production or heavily used environment and have spent years keeping
    users away from ODBC. For ColdFusion users, that meant creating OLE
    DB DSNs and often having to fix poorly written SQL statements and
    fixing ColdFusion date-related values and boolean values (the
    common problems encountered when switching CF / MS Access users
    from ODBC to OLE DB). I can only recall running into problems with
    a single SQL Server based ColdFusion site when migrating from ODBC
    to OLE DB. That customer never did get their many coding problems
    fixed, so they're the only ones still using ODBC in CF. I have no
    idea what'll happen when that one site gets migrated over--if it'll
    even work. Obviously a lot of things have changed between
    ColdFusion 5 and the MX versions that have come along afterward.
    Thanks again for the Access with Unicode driver tip and JDBC
    info. It looks like I can finally start moving forward again with
    the site migration process.

  • 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...

  • Access database issue in SQL Plus

    Hi Friends,
    I download a oracle 10g to install sql Plus without create database. (I download client and does not find SQL Plus)
    I can ping database server from client PC and also set up a TNS.
    However I got a error ORA 12504 --TNS:listener was not start.
    I can access database by sql plua from server side. I do not think we need to put a listener file in client PC under admin path.
    my database set as RAC module and system as window 2003
    how to fix this issue?
    Thanks,
    JIm

    OK, just to be clear, you have a single client machine where you have installed something with the 10g label. Are you saying that you installed the Oracle database bits, but did not create a database? Rather than doing a client-only install? Is there a single Oracle home on the client machine?
    And then you have a RAC database running on multiple Windows 2003 servers, right? Is there a listener running for this RAC database? Can you connect to it from other client machines?
    Are you certain that the service name you specified in the client machine's tnsnames.ora file matches the service the listener is listening for?

  • Why is the Microsoft Office Access Database Engine data source looking for a workgroup information file?

    While trying to import to MSSQL2012 from SSDT using the wizard from an Access 2013 DB (.accdb) which is password protected, I get the following error with the username blank and the password field correctly populated: 
    Cannot start your application. The workgroup information file is missing or opened exclusively by another user. (MicrosoftOffice Access Database Engine)
    But according to this link:
    http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/access-help/what-happened-to-user-level-security-HA010342116.aspx
    MSA10 and beyond shouldn't need workgroup information files, although it's not clear to me if they are
    created/used or not.
    I can point the wizard to some local version of system.mdw at Advanced -> All -> Jet OLEDB:System Database, and then the error becomes:
    Not a valid account name or password. (Microsoft Office Access Database Engine)
    for any username I can think of.
    Questions:
    1.  Why does this data source insist on looking for a workgroup information file even though user-level security should be disabled?
    2.  Why does the Open dialog box for the Microsoft Access Database Engine have *.mdb as the only selectable filetype?
    3.  How can I get around these errors for an .accdb that is password protected?
    Thanks!

    Hi JordanPG,
    To connect to Access 2007 or later database, we need the Microsoft ACE 12.0 OLE DB driver. SQL Server only installs the Microsoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB driver which can be used to connect to Access 2003 or earlier database. Besides, the Microsoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB
    driver only has 32-bit version, but the Microsoft ACE 12.0 OLE DB driver has both 32-bit and 64-bit version. However, the 32-bit and 64-bit Microsoft ACE 12.0 OLE DB drivers cannot be installed on a single server.
    According to your description, you can use the 64-bit SQL Server Import and Export Wizard to load data from the Access database, so the 64-bit Microsoft ACE 12.0 OLE DB driver is installed on your computer. Since the BIDS/SSDT is a 32-bit application, the
    64-bit Microsoft ACE 12.0 OLE DB Provider is not visible in BIDS/SSDT. So, when you said that you select “Microsoft Access (Microsoft Access Database Engine)" in the SQL Server Import and Export Wizard (it is actually the 32-bit version) started by the SSDT,
    I think it should be “Microsoft Access (Microsoft Jet Database Engine)”. Because the Microsoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB driver only supports Access 2003 or earlier format, it threw the error “Test connection failed because of an error in initializing provider. Unrecognized
    database format 'C:\myDB.accdb'”.
    In this situation, you have two approaches to avoid this issue:
    Launch the SQL Server Import and Export Wizard (64-bit), and select “Save SSIS Package” to “File System” on the “Save and Run Package” page. Then, the package will be saved to a specified directory. After that, you can add this existing package to a SSIS
    project. The status of the corresponding OLE DB Connection Manager should be Work Offline, or the OLE DB Source will throw an error about 32-bit driver if the Connection Manager is not in Work Offline status, you can ignore that and the package can run successfully
    in SSDT as long as the project is set to run in 64-bit runtime mode.
    However, for the SSDT 2012 integrated with Visual Studio 2012, the 64-bit runtime mode is disabled. In this situation, to run the package in SSDT, you have to uninstall the 64-bit Microsoft ACE 12.0 OLE DB drivers and install the 32-bit one. Here is the

    Whoever put that comment in there about "1900" and so on knew what had to be done. That "Date" class must be "java.sql.Date"; go and read the API documentation of that constructor you are using there. Then adjust the parameters you are passing to it accordingly.

  • Exception connecting to MS Access Database.

    I'm having problems using the jdbc-odbc bridge with an MS Access database and a file DSN.

    The file DSN was set up using the Win2K ODBC administrator.
    Is there any other way to tell ODBC that it's using a file DSN ?
    I'd be very grateful for any/all assistance.
    Thanks.

    My guess would be that a file DSN is stored in a file, a system DSN is stored under the HKeyLocalMachine registry key and a user DSN is stored under the HKeyCurrentUser registry key, but it's only a guess.

  • How to connect with Microsoft Access Database with JAVA

    I want to know the command and query to connect between MSAccess and JDBC.
    Is it beter way to make connection with MSAccess comparing with other Databases such as SQL and Oracle.
    Which Database will be the best with Java?
    I also want to know to be platform indepadent which database is suitable?

    On Windows, you can use MS Access database by:
    Set up a System Data Source using the ODBC control panel applet.
    Use the jdbc:odbc bridge JDBC driver, and specify a jdbc url that points to the data source name you just specified.
    It's been too long since I've done this, so I don't remember the syntax of the jdbc url, but I'm sure that if you do a search for the jdbc:odbc bridge that you will find what you are looking for.
    As far as the question about which database is best, you will need to determine that based on your project requirements.
    If you want a quick and dirty, open source, cross-platform database, take a look at HyperSonic SQL.

  • Access database in a WAN

    I have to develop an application in Director that will use
    one Access
    Database in two LAN in different cities.
    So I will need to connect these LAN's via Internet. (10 users
    in every LAN
    with XP client)
    Do you think DatagripNet is OK for this purpose or do you
    suggest me other
    third party software?
    thank you

    You're right. I have seen it being down before. Give it some
    time - it will
    hopefully be back.

    When shocknet.org.uk is back, you'll see that - besides very
    good tutorials
    in all the net stuff - there is a collection of scripts,
    prepared for your
    situation.
    1. A lingo behaviour to send a postNetText call to the
    ASP/PHP script on
    the server where your database is.
    2. PHP/ASP script (depending of what the server supports - so
    your choice):
    The script does the following:
    - recieve the call from your application
    - send a query to the database
    - process the result into a lingostring
    - and then return that string back to your application
    As far as I remember, all you have to do in the PHP/ASP
    script is:
    - add the correct connectionstring to the database.
    - specify the SQL string that corresponds with your needs
    (select, insert,
    update and so)

    The princip above will work for most kinds of databases,
    Access, MySQL and
    MSSQL for sure, meaning that you can change database, but
    keep the PHP/ASP
    script.
    You'll have to change the connectionstring to the right one
    though.
    There are SQL xtras, but I have ony experience in working
    with them locally
    (LAN)
    I'll repost this fine line from Andrew - it says somehow the
    same as my 20
    lines above...:
    [Your program]<->[Internet]<->[CGI program or ASP
    or PHP]<->[Database]
    If you are lost, then try to get help for the serverside, so
    you can
    concentrate on your application.
