I've tested an application (one that I'm developing) that utilizes MS Access database (.accdb) on a backup machine. And I consistently get an unhandled exception error saying 'The Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0' provider is not registered on the local machine. I suppose I get this error because the backup machine doesn't have a driver or whatever to read the Access database file. Reading
this topic titled "How to deploy VB 2010 application as a standalone without MS Access", I understand that I can just specify a prerequisite for this component (driver or whatever...) in the project designer window in reference to this page. I wonder if there is a simpler way of delivering the database component to users? Or should I abandon the Access database and use a different one for easier accessibility?
I have to deploy my VB.NET application, and create a new access database with 5 tables, some filled in with values on installation in a specified folder in the C: drive which also needs to be created. I have found using google havent seemed to work for me. I am using Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition, so maybe I need to use a proper copy of Visual Studio 2008 to do this.
So basically I am looking for a way to create a .exe file that will be used to install my program on a user's computer, and create a folder and database with some values on instalation. Could anyone tell me how I can do this or point me in the right direction? EDIT - Also would you be able to answer this question for me. Will the computer that the program will be installed on require visual studio or any other software to run my program?
I have recently developed a back end database in SQL server 2008 R2 and attached it to a application in VB express 2010.Everything works fine and when i publish the application, it works fine on my machine, but once i try to setup up the application on another machine i get the error message: A network related or instance specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. Server was not found or not accessible please verify the instance name is correct or allow remote connections.I have read numerous forums on this saying about changing the connection string and instance name.but with being novice i dont understand what needs to be changed etc.The sql server allows remote connections, but i am unsure what else needs changing to allow the application to work with the database on another machine.
i would like some advice on how I would go about deploying my application I coded with vb.net and access.The problem I have been facing is that I cannot install it on another machine . It gives me an error saying that It cannot find the database in C:\Users\Weighbridge2\AppData\Local\Apps\2.0\Data\. database.accdb when you install access runtime and access runtime sp1 and copy the database to that location then it works.Is there a more efficient way of going about this. I suspect it has something to do with the refferences and prerequisites but up to now i've tried almost all we know .
I have designed a simple form in vb.net with MsAccess as the backend .The form is used to search for a data and diplay it.I need to create an .exe file of it and distribute it to many users without any errors .I have surfed a lot in search of deploying such applications but ended up nowhere . deploying my application(VB.NET with MSAccess) by detailing me all aspects of deployment ?
I built this vb.net windows application that uses an Access DB for data storage and it works fine in visual studio. The problem is, when I deploy, install it from an MSI, i get this error: (see below)If I right click on it and run this program as administrator, it works fine. I thought it was a permissions problem so I gave user, administrator and system full rights to all the files in the directory. But I still get the error.Isn't giving all the files in the program directory full rights the same as making it run as admin?
I am trying to import data from an access database to a access database that my project uses I am having problems with combo box fields in the database with the data. I want to import what is displayed instead of the numerical key value. Example: The combo box displays employee names but the value stored is the key value from the employee table so instead of importing John Doe it imports 2 is there a way to make the actual name instead of the number?
have been trying to figure out for weeks now how to deploy my software With database to another computer. nothing seems to work. Is there a way I can do this Automatically. the software works on the other computer but it does not find the database and cannot connect either.
After deploying my project, I tried to install it on other pc , it installs well buthenever i run the .exe application my database file which is MS Access cannot be found.Well obviously the path is the problem.How would i make my path flexible and so that whenever i install it to other pc, my database will already be found. And also how can i include the database file inside the installer
I'm a first time visitor and poster, but I'm definitly going to stick around. I'm running an old version of Visual Studio .Net Academic 2002 and the .Net framework 2.0. I'm stuck on an issue regarding the deployment of a few programs I've thrown together. They all work fine on my development machine, but the problem they all use SQL Server databases, and I can't find any specific help on deploying a windows application with a database on a machine that isn't set up basically just like my development machine.
I know that I need the .net runtime bootstrapper on the target machine, so I can run basic programs that dont use SQL databases. That's no problem. But what about programs that make heavy use of databases? How does one go about deploying it on target machines? Is there a SQL server bootstrapper?
I have an application that accesses a sql server 2008 database. The server and database is stored on my local harddrive and I would like to learn to scale this up to having multiple users in our office access the application which I will i deploy on a server. For now the database will stay on my pc until I am ready to put it on a dedicated server for myself but for now how do I allow the application still to access my database without allowing anyone direct access to my server or my pc drive. Here is my current connection string:
I am about to finish an application for a client. Now I'm having hard time deploying it since I really don't know how to do it.How do I deploy a windows form application with database?I've already downloaded the prerequisites redistributables. I also want those to be included in the installer.
I coded a program to access a Microsoft Access 2010 database. The program is written using Microsoft Visual Studio 2010. I get the error message that the database I'm trying to access is in an invalid format. look at the code below to see what I missed. The error is in the datasource statement.
I have a VB.NET 2005 WinForm app that accesses a SQL Sever Express database.I use the Microsoft Practices Enterprise library to handle my data access with the following appearing in my app.config file.
Im wondering if anyone would be able to point me to a very well detailed tutorial as to how to Embed a font into my deployed application , So when its installed on an end user,s computer, they can see the font.
I currently have this code and have embedded the font.ttf into the resource under the files option.
So my program works off a few templates in a folder called "Templates".So far, i have been deploying my program as though it would run from a CD. Deleting the autorun file, inserting the Templates folder myself, and then using a self extracting ZIP to make it easy for the user to install.While this works, i would like to make it easier on myself by just including the Templates folder and the two template files (both .xls files) in the program every time i deploy.I've tried dragging and dropping the folder + files into my solution explorer bin folder but it doesn't work.I'm using Visual Basic 2010 Express.
quite new to database queries through VB. I have just created a DB using MS Access and I need to write data to it from my VB Application.Can anyone point me on which objects should I use to execute these write transactions?
I am deploying a VB.net 2010 winforms application, and when I install it on the client's machine, the install process also installs an instance of SQL Server 2005 Express. The application connects to a central SQL database on the server. To install, I am using the "Publish" option in VS 2010. Why does it do that? There should be no need for a local instance of SQL Express. Is there a way to avoid installing SQL 2005 Express (I know it is free, but I would rather not have it installed if possible).
Is there any literature which guides a user through the steps of deploying a vb project created with VS 2010 Professional and incorporating SQL 2008RE Database?
I have a VB project which incorporates 2 databases - 1 Access Db and 1 SQL Db. The project compiles and runs beautifully. However, after adding the databases in the project as existing items and deploying, the project opens/runs, but when I try to login the application I keep getting an error message telling me that the path to the .mdb (Access) database is not a valid path. I don't have a clue what else to do.
it's just for a program registration. i would store all of the registration codes in the access database, then export it to XML, then upload it to my web host. I would then somehow connect it to my Visual Basics login form (Which I have already made). If this can't be done, having them register through the form and having all the allowed codes on the internet (So i can easily edit them)!
I programmed an app with an Access 2010 database, I installed the app and the database on a computer with office 2007. The app can't open the database. Do I need to copy some extra file on the user's PC?
I've built my program a database in Access 2010. Works very nice. But I've had a thought. When my program is compiled and I give it out to users. Will those users need a copy of Microsoft Access to use my program. If so, How could I make it so that no install of Access is needed.
I have an VS2008 VB windows application. I am deploying it via Microsoft .MSI . The target machine parameter is set to x86. When I deploy it to an x64 running XP I receive the following "Microsoft.ACE.Oledb.12.0 Provider is not registered on the local machine". Am I missing something in my setup project to make sure it registers all my components?
how to connect vb.net 2010 to ms access database to get the data and display it in vb.net application that I am doing right now. My project is that I am doing dictionary application with vb.net so every time i put new word in search box, I want the vb.net to get the definition from ms access and display it in the application.
first of all here is the code that populates the fields when the user logs in. This code is correct and works fine.
Dim passwordrow() As Data.DataRow passwordrow = MyDBDataSet.Tables("Customer").Select("Username = '" & txtusername.Text & "'") 'This try statement checks to see if a row has successfully been found
I have connected the database itself without much issue but i want to be able to edit, add and eventually delete from the database using Visual basic interface. This is for an A Level computing course that i teach, i remember a long time ago when i did the course this was fairly simple to do however i cannot for the life of me figure out how to do it at the moment. This is further confused by office 2007 and VB 2010 both of which didnt exsist the first time i did this.Connect 2010 to an access database?

I'm new to Visual Basic. I came across a random number generator tutorial. Got it working fine and then I thought, Is there a way to get it to access a database Here's the thing
1. Generate the random number. 2. looks at the database and finds the corresponding id number. 3. Takes the field for that number and enters it into a text field in the program.
So for example the number generated is 32. Then the program looks at the database and looks for id number 32. then takes the text in line 32 and enters it into a textbox in the program.Now I have my database and the program. But just can't seam to figure out how to get the two connected like I want. I have looked and searched but have found nothing like it I am using Visual Basic 2010 and Access 2007.
I just started learning VB 2010 through a book. I'm learning vb to design a program which can manage customers of a small company as a homework. It'll store data (Company Name, Phone N. and Adress) at an Access Database. (I'm using Access 2007)
I have a little background with programming but none with databases. According to the book there is no way I can delete, add or update a data from an Access Database without installing SQL Server or Express. But this program should work at a computer which may or may not have SQL server or MS Access (Any computer with Windows OS).
After a little digging only thing I could find was Walkthrough: Saving Data to a Database (Multiple Tables) from MSDN and did every step and at the end, I can delete or add rows and change values of the cells but cannot save them (when I click save, close the program and re-open it, changes are gone).
I don't get that how can I view all the data from database without SQL server but can't save changes to the database file without SQL Server.
Is there a way to do this without SQL Server? If so, can you give the right code for the MSDN Walkthrough's Save button? Or point me to a page where can i learn the right code?
