Thats poor attitude! Who says I know nothing of SP's? YOU, because I dont know what @RETURN_VALUE does, and why it get auto generated by VS.NET. Why not try being a bit helpful, and less ignorant?
And please, being all knowing (as it appears), why not give me an example of the generated @RETURN_VALUE usage? MSDN sure doesnt prove to be helpful (in this aspect).

A client is in a bind because one of their contract developers ran off to London with the source code to an Access project.
From what they are telling me they have a directory with an MDB file, some EXEs and setup app. It creates a shortcut icon with a target like this C:\SPP05\MSARN200.EXE C:\SPP05\spp05.mdb /ini C:\WINDOWS\spp05.ini
The client tells me the file is compiled (have not got a hold of it yet) and I was wondering; Can you get into the VBA code as well as the actual database structure? They want some modifications. Does Access ever compile right down to an executable? Or is more of an interpreted type environment?
Sorry for the lack of info and thanks for any help.

Paul, from what I remember and what I just checked, most code should be contained inside a module(s) if it is strickly VBA which is in the Database itself for you to look at, however if they actually have an executable then it is more likely a VB app that is making ADO/DAO calls into that particular datbase. The modules inside Access themselves are meant to run within Access. Hope this helps.

If I set a password for my Access DB and I try to connect using CCommand, it won't work!
<br />
HRESULT hr;<br />
<br />
CDBPropSet dbinit(DBPROPSET_DBINIT);<br />
<br />
dbinit.AddProperty(DBPROP_AUTH_CACHE_AUTHINFO, true);<br />
dbinit.AddProperty(DBPROP_AUTH_ENCRYPT_PASSWORD, false);<br />
dbinit.AddProperty(DBPROP_AUTH_MASK_PASSWORD, false);<br />
dbinit.AddProperty(DBPROP_AUTH_PASSWORD, OLESTR("pwd"));<br />
dbinit.AddProperty(DBPROP_AUTH_USERID, OLESTR("Admin"));<br />
dbinit.AddProperty(DBPROP_INIT_DATASOURCE, m_sSource );<br />
dbinit.AddProperty(DBPROP_INIT_MODE, (long)19);<br />
dbinit.AddProperty(DBPROP_INIT_PROMPT, (short)4);<br />
dbinit.AddProperty(DBPROP_INIT_PROVIDERSTRING, OLESTR(""));<br />
dbinit.AddProperty(DBPROP_INIT_LCID, (long)1033);<br />
hr = m_db.Open(_T("Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0"), &dbinit);<br />
if (FAILED(hr))<br />
return hr;<br />
<br />
return m_session.Open(m_db);<br />
I used to do this a hundred times with ASP and password-protected DB with no problem. Why is it like that with CCommand?
Thanks!

You have to give the password and user in connection string.

You should set connection to something like this,I use this string in C# but I think it is the same in other places too:(in your 'open' function use this)
"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Jet OLEDB:database Password=mypass;User ID=username;Persist Security Info =True;Data Source=myfile.mdb;Jet OLEDB:System Database=E:\\Documents and Settings\\Mazyprogrammer\\Recent.mdw";
Hope it helps.

Hi all,
I have a requirement to convert MS Access queries to Oracle queries.
In MS Access there are pre-defined functions called last, first and Int. I
need to know the oracle equivalent for the above mentioned functions. It
would be great help if u could explain the functions first, last and Int
with small examples.
Best Regards

hello @all,
i have an access data base and a dialogbased program.
to connect the program with the data base i used odbc.
then i add a new class in my project (CRecordset, name: CDatabase) and choose the table i want.
finally i want to register now something into my data base.
I make an object of the data base:
<br />
CDatabase db;<br />
db.Open();<br />
db.Edit();<br />
db.m_x=1;
db.Update();<br />
db.Close();<br />
i get the error in my program, that there is no current data record.
what´s wrong????
Thank you in advance.

I've tride search after a book about ADO with examples written in C++ but it seems to be impossible!?
Can you help? Is there any ADO books with examples written in C++ and not VBScript/VB?

I couldn't find one, but it's not hard to convert. That's WHY they write them in VB, because we C++ programmers can do the conversion and the average VB programmer would not cope converting C++ code to VB.

Is it really that easy?
I feel it's not because _variant_t has no similar type in VB? or?
But if the professional says it's possible.... it shold be possible in some way!
Thanks, then I'll buy ADO 2,6 by Wrox. I think that's the best one I've seen!

I thought the best one was the one from O Reilly, but I am partial to them. They actually have a chapter showing how stuff works in different languages, then the rest is in VB. Wrox books for me are fat with useless code listings.

VB has no types, does it ? VBScript doesn't.

I will check it out. I Like Wrox books but it's pretty true that you say "useless code listings". But I like when it is a little too mucj code that almost nothing!

Ooogh... okay... I don't know VB that much... I know VBScript has no types!

If you use the #import "C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\ADO\msado15.dll" method, then C++ use of ADO is almost as easy as using VB.
The ADO wrapper generated is very nice, with this you shouldn't have any problem converting VB code.

Hey Mike!
You scared the sh*t out of me! 
I thought you had a recomendation of a book about ADO in C++... I've already ordered that book from O´Reilly which Christian suggested me (Which is written in VB)! 
Promise me that you'll never do that again!

How to rollback triggers inside stored procedure...
Thanks ...
|
|
|
|
|
From SQL books Online:
Rollbacks in Stored Procedures and Triggers
If @@TRANCOUNT has a different value when a stored procedure finishes than it had when the procedure was executed, an informational error 266 is generated. This error is not generated by the same condition in triggers.
A 266 error is generated when a stored procedure is called with an @@TRANCOUNT of 1 or greater and the procedure executes a ROLLBACK TRANSACTION or ROLLBACK WORK statement. This is because ROLLBACK rolls back all outstanding transactions and decrements @@TRANCOUNT to 0, which is a lower value than it had when the procedure was called.
If a ROLLBACK TRANSACTION is issued in a trigger:
All data modifications made to that point in the current transaction are rolled back, including any that were made by the trigger.
The trigger continues executing any remaining statements after the ROLLBACK statement. If any of these statements modify data, the modifications are not rolled back. No nested triggers are fired by the execution of these remaining statements.
None of the statements in the batch after the statement that fired the trigger are executed.
A ROLLBACK in a trigger closes and deallocates all cursors that were declared and opened in the batch containing the statement that fired the trigger. This includes cursors declared and opened in stored procedures called by the batch that fired the trigger. Cursors declared in a batch prior to the batch that fired the trigger are only closed, except that STATIC or INSENSITIVE cursors are left open if:
CURSOR_CLOSE_ON_COMMIT is set OFF.
The static cursor is either synchronous, or a fully populated asynchronous cursor.
A trigger always operates as if there were an outstanding transaction in effect when the trigger is executed. This is definitely true if the statement firing the trigger is in an implicit or explicit transaction. It is also true in autocommit mode. When a statement begins executing in autocommit mode, there is an implied BEGIN TRANSACTION to allow the recovery of all modifications generated by the statement if it encounters an error. This implied transaction has no effect on the other statements in the batch because it is either committed or rolled back when the statement completes. This implied transaction is still in effect, however, when a trigger is called.
This means that any time a BEGIN TRANSACTION statement is issued in the trigger, it is actually beginning a nested transaction. Because a nested BEGIN TRANSACTION statement is ignored when rolling back nested transactions, ROLLBACK TRANSACTION issued in the trigger always rolls back past any BEGIN TRANSACTION statements issued by the trigger itself. ROLLBACK rolls back to the outermost BEGIN TRANSACTION.
You must use the SAVE TRANSACTION statement to do a partial rollback in a trigger, even if it is always called in autocommit mode. This is illustrated by the following trigger:
CREATE TRIGGER TestTrig ON TestTab FOR UPDATE AS
SAVE TRANSACTION MyName
INSERT INTO TestAudit
SELECT * FROM inserted
IF (@@error <> 0)
BEGIN
ROLLBACK TRANSACTION MyName
END
This also affects COMMIT TRANSACTION statements that follow a BEGIN TRANSACTION statement in a trigger. Because BEGIN TRANSACTION starts a nested transaction, a subsequent COMMIT statement applies only to the nested transaction. If a ROLLBACK TRANSACTION statement is executed after COMMIT, ROLLBACK rolls back everything to the outermost BEGIN TRANSACTION. This is illustrated by the following trigger:
CREATE TRIGGER TestTrig ON TestTab FOR UPDATE AS
BEGIN TRANSACTION
INSERT INTO TrigTarget
SELECT * FROM inserted
COMMIT TRANSACTION
ROLLBACK TRANSACTION
This trigger will never insert into the TrigTarget table. BEGIN TRANSACTION always starts a nested transaction. COMMIT TRANSACTION commits only the nested transaction, while the following ROLLBACK TRANSACTION rolls everything back to the outermost BEGIN TRANSACTION.

Can I distribute MSDE and MDAC?
I have a client, a non-profit with a non-budget, that needs to track data on persons they've provided assistance to, but I'd rather not have them buy Access if there's no need for it. The need is simple - recipient name, ID, date, nature of service provided, etc. One table will probably do it, and since they're running XP Pro, I can probably set it up as a browser-based app using IIS. Only one of the staff will ever need to access it, so the two connection limit is no burden.
Is it okay to just create the db in SQL Server at home, export the db to their system, and install MSDE and MDAC on their machines? For that matter, I think MDAC is part of XP, so it really only needs MSDE.

Check this[^] out.
Also, if it is for a non-profit, maybe contact your local MS office and see if they'll sponsor you some software.
Cheers,

Thank you for the link, Simon! It appears that I'm legal. I got my copy as a user of VS6 Professional, so I'm legal to distribute MSDE with single-purpose applications. Something this simple will never be deemed a competitive product, and if I can't use it with IIS, I can always make do with VB. It's hardly worth the effort to fire up VC++ for anything this trivial.
