Microsoft Visual Studio .NET\Setup\MSDE. After it is installed you should be able to run the osql command to execute scripts.

Bart-Man18-Jul-02 8:12 Bart-Man 18-Jul-02 8:12  Greetings, I am trying to connect to a ms access db remotely, and I keep getting a file not found error. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? Here is my connection string like what I am using: ------------------------------------------------------------ "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source = http://Myserverblah/somedir/mydatabase.mdb"; The file exists on the server, and I can actually download it via a browser, so it appears that there is no apparent security problem. I have tried putting the mdb file in the root web directory, and I have tried creating a virtual directory to put the database in. I keep getting the error below: ------------------------------- "Source = Microsoft JET Database Engine" "Description = Not a valid file name. " I am new to remote database, so any ideas as to what I am doing wrong would be great. I think it has something to do with my connection string, but I am not sure. Thanks in advance!

If you are going to have more than a handful of people access this then do not use Access over the web. It's slow! The DB can't grow past 2GB and Access can't handle more than 64K rows in a table. Bart-Man wrote: The file exists on the server, and I can actually download it via a browser, so it appears that there is no apparent security problem. Never, ever, allow anyone to download your database. Move it out of a public folder pronto. But, do make sure you have write permissions for the folder the MDB is in so it can create a lock file. Try this for your connection string... "Provider=MS Remote; Remote Server=http://somewhere.com; Remote Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; Data Source=c:\somewhere\my.mdb;" If you require a login to the database you can also specify User Id and Password in the connection string.

Bart-Man18-Jul-02 8:59 Bart-Man 18-Jul-02 8:59  Thanks for your reply, and your suggestions about access db and it's limitations!!! For now I am stuck using it since only a few people use the db, and they are sticking to access. Here's what I did. ------------------ 1.) I moved the database from the public folder like you suggested. 2.) Checked the folder to make sure it had write permissions. 2.) Tried the connection string you provided and it worked great!!! I can now connect to the database!! *3.) ++My Problem now++: I can't seem to get the recordset to do anything. I just did a simple query of "Select * from Table1". and I get the error "Internet Client Error: Invalid Server Response". I checked, and "Table1" is a valid table within the database Is this a security setting that I didn't set right? At any rate thanks for helping me with the connection string.

Bart-Man22-Jul-02 5:30 Bart-Man 22-Jul-02 5:30  It is weird I used microsoft's sample, changed the connection string, and it still does not work. I noticed something odd about when I connect a "First-chance exception" ocurrs, but my exception code does not catch it. It appears that an access problem occurs on the server side. I am trying to configure the rds, so that it will allow access.. After several attempts, it still does not work correctly. An msdn article suggested that I download msadc sdk and use that to test that the Rds is working correctly. At any rate I think the connection string is right, and my query code was right. But the rds is not setup right. Re: How can I connect to MS Access via a remote?

I'm keen to do something similar to this: DECLARE @EntTypeID int SELECT @EntTypeID=0 --init SELECT @EntTypeID = ( SELECT [ID] from tblEntityTypes WHERE [Descr]='BLAH') --do something with the @EntTypeID var. Anyway to implement this in Access 2000, XP?

When you will write code in Basic and use several queries then you can simulate your code.

Here's a snippet from MSDN to give you a better idea about COLLATE... COLLATE Specifies a collation sequence for character fields in subsequent indexing and sorting operations. ... Note When you specify the SPANISH option, "ch" is a single letter that sorts between "c" and "d", and "ll" sorts between "l" and "m". Jeremy Falcon Imputek <nobr>"..." - Paul Watson  07-17
