Intermittent Access Database Error (Linked Tables)
Apr 14, 2011
I have a system that gathers raw data from electronic devices, uses that data to populate a set of tables and allow uses to add/edit certain data and report on it. (Kind of basic right...NOT) There are 3 applications that I've written that use the same database.
One is a client that is on 3-4 user machines which allows them to see the data that has come in and work with it.
Two a Data-to-Information process program which takes the raw data, checks up certain information and puts the results into the database.
Third is a data gathering app that interfaces directly with the electronic devices and about 10 times per day places the raw data into a single table in the database.
If a user is in the 'client' application the data processing application crashes all over the place:
1. Database file already in use.
2. Unrecognised Database format
3. File locked exclusively by User on PC X.
Almost always on a different line of code and once when I made it retry over and over I managed to corrupt the database and had to Compact and Repair it to fix it. If no one is using the client everything works perfectly. On each client machine is a database with linked tables to the server machine. The machine that is running the Data processing is the server and the processing is using a database in a different folder that also has linked tables.
I have gone through all the recordsets in the Data Processing application and made sure that they are only using ForwardOnly and Read Only. They edit the data only with Insert, Update or Delete queries. I'm about to do the same in the Client Application as it seems to be the one that is locking everything all the time. The client machines haven't crashed on that error at all. Does it matter which version of Access is on the client and server machines? (All the clients have Access 2003 and the server has 2007 but the Database was created in 2003). Should I just convert the Access database to SQL server and be done with it?

One of the things I'm trying to do is work out the total profits for a company, reading from an access database comprising of two linked tables. All the information needed for the calculation in question (Fees, Sold/Bought?, Cost/Income) are found in one form (Financial) and I want to read this information and carry out the required calculations within a sub.
Here is the calculation in Pseudocode I wish to do:
Do
If SoldBought = Sold then
Total = Total + Cost/Income - Fees
Else: Total = Total - Cost/Income
Read Next Record
Loop Until End of Records
[Code] .....
Unfortunately, I encounter an error with the above. I get the following error;
"There is no Row at position 0".
How I could get this in motion - I've been stuck in a rut for days trying different things out and I've come to accept that I can't do this alone.

I have code that connects to queries in an access database.
[code...]
Is the data not filling in because of the schema information not being retirieved? If so, is there a way around that?

I have started a little program which is linked to an access database, and it basically allows the user to input a name and a picture, with the file path stored in a text box and the picturebox getting the picture location from said text box. At the moment I am using the BindingNavigator to go between data. Everything works fine, however, whenever I press previous or next, the picturebox loads up the picture using the file location of the previous datas picture field. How can I tweak this so that when I press next or previous it loads the picture into the picturebox using the file location of the data I am going to, not coming from? [code]

I know how to do the type of query in this thread [URL] I am wondering know how to do the same thing with linked datatables.
Or is there no difference, i just don't need to have "Where" clauses?If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much room

Im building a program that's linked to a ms access database. the function i use to update a row... In order to save a lot of typing i inserted a for loop that uses a directcast function. i did this because i have numerous text boxes that i name tb1, tb2, tb3, tb4...etc and they each correlate with row 1, row 2, row 3, row 4...etc in the database.[code].....

I am writing an application that does a number of different things with data downloaded from hardware which is monitoring the power used in my home and produced by my PV Solar array. I have run into a roadblock early on, because I cannot seem to get new data into an Access database that I have linked to my application by means of a DataSet. I have checked the DataAdapter's InsertCommand, DeleteCommand, and UpdateCommand definitions (created by the DataSet Wizard), and they seem to make sense, and nothing is throwing exceptions or otherwise making VB complain, but new rows added to the dataset are not being added to the database.

I have an Access frontend with a lot of tables linked through ODBC to a MySQL backend. I have a VB.net application that sometimes adds columns to the tables in the backend, and when that happens, I need to refresh the link to the table in the frontend from the VB.net app to show the new columns.I'll consider just about any solution as long as it doesn't require restarting MySQL or Access, and will allow me to refresh only the links I need to refresh (which I know in advance) as there are hundreds of links and tables in the frontend.

I am very familiar with VBA and have been using access and excel to create applications that connect using ADO and/or linked tables.I'm looking to start developing simple Windows applications for my company using Visual Basic, that will connect to Oracle and SQL Server Databases using ADO. What do I need to accomplish this? If I purchase Visual Studio 2008 Pro, will it come with VB? And do I need anything in addition to this in order to connect to SQL or Oracle databases using ADO method?

i have a very regular problem with MS Access showing random results when being written to from Visual Studio 2008. It happens on all computers including the development machine, using Vista or XP, VS 2005 or VS 2008.Is there a VB.Net flush command I can use before reading the data ?.I write data to a table and then immediately go to read that data.I can make it work if I wait up to 3 seconds before I read the data after a write, using a sleep command. Unfortunately 3 seconds is way too long.Are there any known problems with writing data to MSAccess 2003 from .Net, using VS 2008, VB.Another weird thing that happens is that only half the data is there if I write to an Access table and then go to read it immediately. Sometimes the data's there, sometimes not, with the exact same code and data.
Sometimes the whole table fills with the data from the first record.This is happening throughout my code. Anywhere there's data being written to Access there's a problem if I go to read it immediately after.Sometimes the Access table is blank, even though data has been written to it, and then on a second run of the exact same code it comes good, or gets half the data or every record is a duplicate of the first record. The code is good, so it's not a coding problem, and I can run the exact same code and get good results. So it's definitely an intermittent problem.I run all my access writes through the same code. The part of the code that writes the data is "command1.ExecuteNonQuery()". Whether I read the data from a datatable or as a merged word document, I still get the same problems. So I'm guessing that there's a problem

I have an VB application that I developed in Visual Studio 2008. The back end is SQL. Application stores quite a bit of information and gets updated daily by users. It also connects to AD to get u/p, adds new accounts in AD and adds mailboxes. Users connect to it through Citrix. We noticed big spikes in memory usage. The executable itself is less than 5Mb; if I run it and it opens main form - memory usage jumps to about 19Mb, open a report - it jumps to 80 Mb. If I open the form that is linked to multiple tables - it jumps to 157 Mb. Once users start pulling new information in, update it and connect to AD or Exchange - it could jump to 250 Mb. Also noticed that if user with read only rights has application opened and idle - memory usage constantly changes with a pattern
like 17Mb - 19 Mb - 15 Mb - 17 Mb and so on. This user wasn't even using computer at the time. In general - what could cause such jumps in memory usage? What is the best way to prevent it? On the server we have Windows Server 2003 SE

I want to gather some data from some tables of an Access Database, I've found some solutions online, but I haven't found ways to fill a datatable, or dataset, and get each single field properly. Is it easier for me to get whole tables then get just the info that i want, or should I make a lot of searches in the access DB getting just what I want each time? Any code snippets for it? The Access Database is in an ACCDB file, with no user or password. I'm currently using VB.NET, but it doesn't matter if you answer in C#. [URL]

My problem is that I need to use a access database as a backend for my visual basic.net program.
The database will be accessed by a maximum of 10 users but I want to lock tables when a user is updating a record.
I am unable to use the SQL server at the company due to it storing sensitive information.
I have some basic knowledge of ado.net
I have read many articles but I can't find any articles that say how to lock a access .mdb file using Visual basic.net

I have a database that has tables in it. Tables can be added to this databse programatically as well as the data that needs to be in those tables.I need to be able to query that database to get what tables are in it, place the names of those tables into a listbox so that when a user clicks on the name of the table, It will update a DataGridview with the data that is in that table in the database.I assume that you would need to build a dataset at runtime based off of what tables are in the DB, but i have no idea how to do this.

I have a form with 5 fields(inputs). When I entered data in the form and click submit, the data is entered into an Access 2007 Database(Table). All the set up (connection) is working because the data table is getting populated with the user info. However, I also need to search the database by entering a name in the name text box and clicking a button.
This is suppose to populated all the fields with information from the data base if the user exist. The search part is not working. I have no more hair to pull. :) Here is the code:

I have three tables (Supplier, Product, PurchaseOrder) within a MS Access database. I am trying to display Product table in DataGrid1, Supplier in DataGrid2, PurchaseOrder in DataGrid3. What I am trying to do is to choose a product, the total list of suppliers for that product appears in DataGrid2. Up to here works fine. Now I want to add the third datagrid so that for product #1, supplier #1, there are four purchase orders listed - default. Then if I choose product #1, supplier #3, there are two purchase orders listed, and so on. I can not find out how to work with the DataAdapters and DataSet Relations for three joined tables.

We are running Crystal Reports on a Windows Server 2008 with .NET framework 3.5 SP1. I have seen many causes of the general error "The request could not be submitted for background processing." on other forums, however they tend to be persistent and repeatable affecting just a single report due to a specific formatting issue with a specific report.We are seeing this error with the below stack trace, intermittently. It affects multiple different reports we have. It affects one particular report more frequently than other reports. Once a report is affected the same error will often appear in multiple reports at approximately the same time eg. for the next 10 minutes.The same report run with the same parameters may work when run again (soon after) or the application may need restarting before the report can be successfully re run. These reports all worked previously without issue. No change in server or code seems apparent which would have precipitated this error. All code behind for this is VB.NET We have had difficulty reproducing it in test environments and upgrading to the latest version of Crystal has not helped at all.

My first thought was something odd with the date format, but we're using UK dates, last error was on 18th July, so the ValueToCompare gets set to 18/07/2011. I've set this manually using the debugger, and it worked fine.

Currently I have DataGridView box, clicking generate button fills it with a query from the database.I want the add button to add another row filled using the same query, so far I cannot get it to do it.Current generate button code:
Me.TableAdapter.FillBy1(Me.DataSet.App)
Add button code:
Me.DataSet.App.Rows.Add() - this does add a new empty row
I tried sticking the generate code inside (between add brackets) it but that just did the same thing as the generate code.

I am using VS2008 and SQLite. I have created a database and several tables and am attempting to populate the tables with data from arrays.
The following code (example) works fine but stops after it inserts 30 to 50 records. I am running the VB code in debug mode and when it stops, I press pause to see where it is. It stops on "SQLcommand.ExecuteNonQuery()" and when I press continue (F5) it will insert another 30 to 50 records.
I do not get an error message. Is this a timeout issue? How do I keep the loop running to the end of the array?
Following is example code.
Dim
SQLconnect As New SQLite.SQLiteConnection()
Dim SQLcommand As SQLiteCommand
