Change Excel Odbc Connection?
Oct 6, 2009
I have an excel with 10 sheets, each sheet has a connection stored in it because i am using the ms query to read data from access database. when I code the below, both line are accepted by vb.net (with new or without)
Dim wb1 As Excel.Workbook
Dim wb2 As New Excel.Workbook
Now when I code
Dim wb_cnn1 As Excel.ODBCConnection ' Works Fine
Dim wb_cnn2 As new Excel.ODBCConnection ' Error 'New' cannot be used on an interface.
Q1: Why I cannot create New Excel.ODBCConnection? I have this
Dim xlsApp As New Excel.Application
Dim wb_cnn As Excel.ODBCConnection
Dim wb As Excel.Workbook
[code]....
Maybe because it is read only. I want that because the ms query is hardcoding the path of the access db even if i choose DSN so, if I change the location of the access file the query in the excel will not work, Q2: How I can change the connection in the Excel sheet?

I am trying to do something fairly simple.. allow my user to import thier data from Excel into SQL Server, where it can be used by the application.To do this, I'm using the fairly simple code that is common everywhere I look:
strFilePath = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" + fdlgFileOpen.FileName + ";Extended Properties=Excel 8.0"
connExcel = New OleDbConnection(strFilePath)
connExcel.Open()
[Code]...
Now, on my development computer this code works perfectly. The data imports, and I can go on my merry way.
On the TEST computer, this code throws the error: "ODBC -- Connection to {SQL Server} servernamesqlservername failed." This seems very odd to me, because I'm using exactly the same SQL Server and database to interact with the application, and all the other screens in the application work perfectly. The test computer CAN connect to this SQL Server, but it keeps throwing this error whenever I try import data from Excel.I've tried everything I can think of - using the server's IP address instead of the server name, sending the SQL Server administrator data along with the request, taking out the Trusted_Connection=Yes... nothing works. What is going on here? How can this code work fine on my computer, and hiccup on another?

i want to ask what is the difference between oledb connection and odbc connection. I have a case, my office used ncomputing then i have to developed an application using sqlserver 2000 and vb.net 2005, i used oledb connection. When i try to implement it in ncomputing, why user must has admin access level and dbo level in sql server, it seems trouble when all users are admin. But there's a rumor that when using odbc connection, we dont need to give admin access level for users.es.

I'm trying to connect to a database and keep the connection open for any amount of user activity/queries within the database. Currently I have a connection that opens and closes for any query (save, update, etc...) which requires the logon process to the back-end every time the user saves etc... Is there a way to simply connect and leave the connection open so there won't be a lag time when running the query due to the logon process? This is what I'm using:
Private sConStrFormat As String = "Provider=TDOLEDB;Data Source=TDDEV;Persist Security Info=True;User ID={0};Password={1};Default Database=bcpm_ddbo;Session Mode=ANSI;"

I am trying to coonect to Oracle 10g database through ASP using ODBC connection. The connection string used is con.Open "DRIVER={Microsoft ODBC for Oracle};SERVER=xxxx;UID=xxxxx;PWD=xxxxx".
This works when I tried creating a macro and also using a vbs script. When run through classic ASP it gives error on the connection.open line.

I'm trying to develop a simple app with vb.net in VS 2010 that could monitor the ODBC connections via DSN made on the macnhine running this app.My scenario is an application (non Vb) running on a workstation that connects to an MS Access database on a network share.
The application (non Vb) connects using a link (ODBC connection via Oracle 10G) to the tables on the Oracle side.My VB.net Application should monitor the machine running the main application for ODBC connections drops and alert me via email for example.My question is where in the framework can I find something to instantiate or reference in order to check ODBC connections states constantly as well as network disconnection issues as well so I can log and /or alert when possible for network problems and ODBC connection problems for all the applications that might run on the host (machine running my vb app).

I'm connecting succesfully to an Oracle 10g DB with an the Microsoft ODBC for Oracle driver.Regular queries without parameters work fine, but parameterized queries act as if the parameters aren't getting passed in.ex.
--this works fine
Select * from tbl1 where column1 = 'test'
--this doesn't
select * from tbl1 where column1 = ?
--odbc string parameter 'test'
Here's what my connection string looks like:
"Driver={Microsoft ODBC for Oracle}; " & _
"CONNECTSTRING=(DESCRIPTION=" & _

I'm using Visual Studio 2005 Pro. I have an ODBC (not OLEdb) Connection to a spreadsheet. Works fine except the first row is missing. How do I stop this behavior? I can see that for OLEdb there is a way to suppress this behavior using the HDR=No parameter in the connection string. When I try that for the ODBC connection, No change. Row Still Eaten. I also went to the HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftJet4.0EnginesExcel registry key and changed the FirstRowHasNames value to 00. No change. Row Still Eaten.

When connecting to a Sybase ASE database via ODBC using the code below, I'll occasionally get a '[IM006] [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Driver's SQLSetConnectAttr failed' error. this be caused by my code? I read here that I should be using the 'With' statement instead, but I don't understand how that would affect this.

I'm trying to connect to Transoft U/SQL license using an odbc connection and and odbcDataAdapter. I am using a function to return a dataset into the mainModule.
HTML
dsOMD = getOMDinfo(psSerialNbr)
dtOMD = dsOMD.Tables(0)
The Function code that is being used is as follows:
HTML
Function getOMDinfo(ByVal strSerialNumber As String) As System.Data.DataSet
Dim myconnection1 = New OdbcConnection("DSN=omd.udd;uid=;")
Dim strSQL As String = String.Empty
[code]...
I am getting the following error:
Message: "ERROR [42000] [Transoft][TSODBC][usqlsd]Name expected ([)"
Source: "TSODBCW.DLL"
If I change the code to use a datareader it I can loop through the data but a data reader is not recommended to pass through the layers and so I'm wanting to create a dataset/data table process. Anyone have any ideas why the dataset/dataTable code is not working properly?

I'm using the Microsoft Excel Driver to import an Excel document into a adodb.recordset so that I can remove duplicate rows and put it into the SQL Server database.
The first column has values like 192, 13U, JJJ, etc. but for some reason the query casts it as a double value, and any rows with alpha values get converted to Null. From what I can tell this is because the Majority type is numeric instead of text.
I tried casting it, but got an error.

I'm using Visual Basic/Studio 2010 Express to run my VB program using MS Access database. I'm going to convert the Access database to a SQL Server Server Express data base so I downloaded SQL Server 2008 R2 Express onto my pc with Windows 7. The installation went fine and I actually converted my Access database to SQL server. I did not change anything in my VB program.My problem: When I run my normal program with the Access database (no changes), I now get an error when it executes the following code:
dr = cmd.ExecuteReader.
I get the error System.Data.OleDb.OleDbException was unhandled;

I'm using ODBC to export tables from a dataset to an Excel file without auto-formatting Excel or even needing to have Excel installed on the users PC. This works great but I just had a request to autosize the columns and make the header line bold. The only way I know of doing this is to fully automate Excel to control the row/column/cell formatting. Does anyone know a way of doing this without auto-formatting Excel?

I have a small vb.net application that fires a crystal report through crystal viewer.
The report uses an ODBC connection provided by 32-bit software accounts package, which is installed in the ODBC 32-bit This all works fine on 32-bit XP and 32-bit Win7 with no problems, When run on a win7 64-bit machine the application launches ok, but when it comes to running the report, it prompts for a database logon box for the odbc connection.
When the report is run seperate on its own, on the exact same pc through crystal reports desginer it runs fine, Its almost like the application is not picking the 32-bit ODBC set up is it the case that the connection needs to be coded rather than using the report connection,

I'm writing an application that imports and tidy up address data into a cleaned, deduped excel workbook ordered in rows with each column as an address field. One of the issues I've ran into is that we sometimes get a workbook where the multiple address fields are held in a single cell with line breaks. I've written code to extract all of this data out of the excel sheet in to a dataset with each sheet as a table and the address fields contained within. I now want to create a new Excel workbook from this data with the address fields in Row and columns the problem I have is I can Open/create the Workbook but when I try to insert a new Sheet (Table) I get an error saying the Workbook is read only....
