Just came across this post on the VB Developer Center.
Add Connection Wizard Fails[^]
It sounds like the installation of the Access data provider is a bit dodgy.
They suggest the following, and it apparently works a treet.
1) Run regedit.exe;
2) Browse to the location "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{F9AE8980-7E52-11d0-8964-00C04FD611D7}" in the tree;
3) If there is a child node in the tree called "ProgID", then you are experiencing a different problem.
Otherwise, follow these steps to modify the registry:
1) Right click the node and select "New > Key";
2) Enter "ProgID" as the name;
3) Go to the main window and double click "(Default)";
4) Enter the value "MSIDXS.1";
Now if you run Visual Studio, it should be working.
Hope this helps.

Now this is interesting...
I have Visual Studio 2008 Express installed at work, and the registry settings are already exactly what you've described. It works perfectly, using the same database I'm trying to connect to at home.
What's odd is that, my home installation is VS 2008 Standard, and the connection wizard dialog box is entirely different! No Browse button, to start with, and of course I never get past that point to see the rest.
I'll check these registry settings as soon as I get home; this might just do the trick!

That worked a treat!
What an obscure fix for a non-obvious problem! Even worse, this source came from a VS2005 post; why is it still a problem in VS2008?

Try doing some research, the question is too large for a simple forum post. Get some idea what you want to know and then ask a more specific question research center[^]

I don't think databases have enumerations, but you can have a translation table and use referential integrity.

Hi,
I would like to implement Stored procedure naming conventions on my databases?
I don't want to mess up with developers for this. Is there any way with which my server automatically check
whether the request coming for creation of stored procedure following naming conventions or not??
and if not then it pass error message to developer.
Regards,
Aman

Try this

Does SQL Server support database level triggers?
Just realised that the OP doesn't say he is using SQL Server, but I guess the point is, not all databases support database or schema-level triggers.

Yes - Sqlserver supports the Schema Level Triggers.

your right.., but popular database like Oracle, Sqlserver , Mysql .. etc supports Schema Level Triggers . and if you see the OP requirement is such complex/hard to do in the small databases.

First, have a policy; make sure everyone has a copy and has read it. They don't need to agree with it, only agree to comply with it.
Second, be sure your policy states that stored procedure names do not begin with sp_.
Third, try the honor system, and see if you need to take further steps.
Fourth, fire any offenders.
Fifth, do as Rajesh said.
Sixth, abandon using stored procedures, they are nothing but trouble.

That may be your opinion, but many large companies (certainly most financial institutions) insist on them for ease of deployment - if your sql is in your code (dll or whatever) and you have thousands of users worldwide, changes are far more complex than a single stored proc change (even if it does get replicated).

Hi All,
I have developed an accounting application in vb6 with mssql 7 as backend.
with the passage of time microsoft developed a lot and recently launched VS2010 and MSsql 2010.
Being a developer i updated myself up to VS2008 and Mssql 2008. Currently i am working in Vs2008 and Mssql 2008 express. Upto Mssql 2005 there was no problem between me and my clients. but now as i have upgraded my all systems to mssql express 2008 i am facing problems as some of my client have xp sp2 and mssql 2008 studio does not work with xp sp2.
whenever i tried to install to mssql 2008 studio on xp sp2 it required win powershell which only support on xp sp3. as result i am unable to resotre database to mssql 2005 developed in mssql 2008 express.
kindly suggest me the solution.
Thanks

Script out your database and recreate it in SQL 2005 by running the script. Then import the data.

You can do that in programming language like c# or vb.net but
I think it is not possible using SQL.

By the look of your table design, the numbers and text are simply joined in the field "description". This means it will display exactly as the user has input it!! The easiest way would be for your users to input the data in the format you are after, or change your table design so that the number is stored in its own field, then you could simply select the number and append it into some parentheses!
eg: select companyid, voucherdate, '(' + ordernumber + ')' as FormattedNumber, description from orders

If the data are showing; comes from single entry then i would like to suggest you to re-design you database table.
Thanks

It's not the best database design in the world, so I agree with the others, your first approach should be to change the table design if you can.
However, sometimes you don't have that option and the database design is out of your hands, so this link may help:
http://www.kf7.co.uk/sql-server-function-get-numeric.aspx[^]
You should be able to start from that and get something that works for you. It's not going to be fast, though.

Hello,
I have a table matter (id_mat, libelle_mat, id_module)
to have names of matter on the header I used pivot table
select [411] AS '411 ', [412] AS '412', [413] AS '413',....
or 411 ,412.... are id_mat
how can I do if I dont know the number of matter? I wanted to display in the header every libelle_mat of a module. (I work with sqlserver2008)
Thank you.

Hi,
I think I did not explain my problem,how to display matter of a module in header if I dont know know the number of matter because the user add and delete it.
Thanks.

That is precisely what I do in the article, buid a string of column headers from the data and build a pivot query based on that. Read the article!

Hi,
I have a table which has a date column "OrderedDate" which can be null in db.
Secondly i have a UI which has an frmdate and todate. While querying if the two textboxes are empty i need to show all the records( including the rows with null date). I have written the following query but it fetches the ros with non null values only.
AND
(
isnull(OrderedDate,@frmdate) between isnull(@frmdate,OrderedDate) and isnull(@todate,OrderedDate)
)
I can`t figure out whats the problem. Kindly look into the matter if possible. Thank You.
When you fail to plan, you are planning to fail.
