DB/Reporting :: Cannot Connect To Database From User's Computer
Feb 29, 2012
I created an executable file of an application done in VB Express 2010 which connects to a Access 2010 database. When installling the executable file at one of the user's computer, the file is installed correctly, but it fail's when trying to connect to the database. It says that Microsoft Dataengine cannot open the database. The user's computer doesn't have Access installed, does it need to be installed? or can I install a framework or application to avoid installing Access at the user's computer?
I wrote a program in VB2005. It is a program that is supposed to run in a client computer accessing an MS Access .mdb file stored in the server. The program itself is stored and run in the clients computer. I am not good in networking at all. The way I do it now is:
1. Have a directory made in the server to hold the MS Access .mdb file, and have the directory to be shared.
2. Have the same directory accessed and mapped in the client computer (say to Z:)
3. Then have the program in the client computer simply access the database as if it is in the same computer (as the directory already mapped into the client computer). In the VB 2005, this is done when we set the connection string of the database connection.
However, my user is complaining that by doing so, the database is basically exposed to the operator of the client computer (through the mapped directory), hence more vunerable for any bad intentions from persons who may have access to the client computer but not the server. He insists that he used to have a program that does exactly the same thing like my program, but the database is shielded in the server, where it cannot be seen in the client computer (I have other people who confirm that this can be done, though they can't tell me how, since they are not programmers themselves). Now, I have no idea on how to connect a database that way, and I don't even know where to start looking.
I want to move my programs and the database to another computer and hard-disks. It looks to me as though I nearly have to re-create the controls and rewrite some of the code to make it so the programs still work after the move. At least with ODBC all I would change was the DSN definitions external to the programs. Is there an easy way to move or rename a database without loads of work?
I'm using vb2008 with DB Msaccess 2003 in the first my language it's not very well so I'm sorry fro bad expression I have two computer ( Pc1,Pc2)I put the program(exe) with DB on the PC1 , then I put the program(exe) on the pc2 the pc1 connect to pc2 how do I deal(connect) with DB from Pc2 ?
how to connect to a database of another computer in same local network using vb.net? We already enable remote connection in the sql server configuration and also sql browser and we already connected with one another using wireless network. Here is our connection in vb.net

I'm using Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition. What I have is an Access database that will have several tables. What I want to do is connect to the database, enter the name of a table in a text box and query that table. The code that I have now is: [Code] I'm not sure how to modify this code so that tablename = whatever I type in the text box.
Using VB 2008 Express /Using SQL Server Express/Database name is "StopData"/Computer name is "LAPTOP"?Here's what I have.
Code: Imports System.Data.SqlClient Public Class frmMain Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
What happen if i want connect to a database server is not my computer local host, is another computer localhost in LAN network? how it works? [code] how about i wan connect the server is another computer localhost database?
writing user info such as user, computer name, date, and time to an acces database using a button click event. Then use a query to check if the user has accepted the aggreement. If the user has accepted the aggreement then call a vb.exe that display the aggrement. I have a login script that runs the vb.exe and uses a button click that records the user info to a csv file, but if the user has already agreed to the policies I do not want it run again.
i am semester 2 in the "system information", as usual just like in semester 1, this hardcore lecturer just has some way to make us difficult he is giving us a one semester long assignment, and as you probably can see.i got mysql as my database to making a hotel system application.

I'm working on a tool that allows the user to connect to his SQL database and edit some of the database values.First here's a screenshot of the GUI (you can see my problem as well):
I am using VB.net 2003. I am working on a stand alone windows program that stores data in an Access database via ADO.net via MS jet 4.0 OLEDb. I have progressed to the point that I would now like to provide the end user the oportunity to back-up the data they have stored and re-install if they choose. I am envisioning a menu item for "maintenance" with sub-items for "back-up" and "restore"
i just want some opinnion or suggestions regarding database softwares. we are going to develop a system for 20 or less users, i am planning to use MYSQL community server as our database to lessen the budget for that system, i just want to know if it is ok to use that version.is there a big differece between mysql community server, enterprise server and MS SQL Server in terms of handling data i.e security, speed, etc...
Alright, let's try this again. I have an mdb file as a database in my program, I need this mdb file to be what my published program reads off of. Is there any way to have Visual Basic (2008 Express) not encode my mdb file to Example.mdb.deploy?
I am using the Mysql .NET connect and can connect to my database using my program. i want to be able to get a Users Password from the database using there user name
This is the query i want to use: "SELECT Password FROM staff WHERE Username = " & textbox1.text & " '". But i don't know how to run that query and to get it to store the Password as a variable
Here's what I'm attempting: The user browses for and opens a dbf file. The user is presented with a checkedlistbox which shows the column headers. The user then selects the columns they wish to run a report on. ex. total # of cells not empty, longest cell length, etc.
I'm to the point of populating the checkedlistbox with all of the columns shown but I'm unsure if the users selections are actually linked to my data and if they are how I go about isolating said selections for the reports. I have a feeling that my approach to populating the checkedlistbox is not the proper way for what I'm trying to accomplish.
Here is the code
Public Sub btnGetFile_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnGetFile.Click Dim fileLookUp As New OpenFileDialog
I'm trying to develop a windows application where i can get connected to remote server and look for process state going in remote server.We have many remote servers where automatic installation of software going on. We have an xml file(installstatus.xml) where it tells us at what stage the installation is (Example : Inprogress , Completed, Failed.)
So our aim is to develop a windows application where i can get connected to that servers and look for their installation status(may be we can use installstatus.xml to look for installation status). Every time i connect to a server, the server information should get stored in XML file(i want to create a xml file where all the servers list i connect to should get stored)
The UI at left side should will have list of servers i can connect to. When i get connected to server, at right side of UI, i want to display the status of installation (In progress, failed , completed).
I am trying to connect to copy some files to another computer on LAN, but the problem is it asks for user name and password, now how do i provide user name and password through my application

I downloaded the free Visual Basic Express Edition to create an application that connects to a Mysql database. I searched for the connection string and found a bunch of different ones.I have no idea which one should I use with Visual Basic Express Edition. I have been using PHP, javascript and mysql for a couple of years, but I have never used Visual Basic and have everything to learn.
