Would like to migrate MS-ACCESS 2003 legacy applications into modern Dot Net, including migration of the MS-ACCESS Database to Sql Server 2008 (with potentially also migration of the MS-ACCESS Reports to Sql Server Reports). The purpose is to move to DotNet application with Sql Server as its database.

We were using Ofiice 2003 since long but now we are migrating to Office 2010.The problem that we facing now is that in our Workbook based on Excel 2003 we had a few ranges with names like BCD1, DOT1 but now in Excel 2010 BCD1 and DOT1 are cell names. The new version changes the BCD1 to _BCD1 automatically but we have to manually change the Macro code for the same which is a cumbersome problem.
PS: Some code that would automatically change the required in Macro Code.
I have an application with databases in MS Access. I want to migrate that to SSCE. I have converted all the databases. Problem is with datasets.Do I need to make all new datasets or there is a way to convert the existing ones to SSCE datasets?
View 6 RepliesI'm currently trying to convince management of the need to port one of our applications to .NET. The application has grown to be a bit of a monster in Access (backend in SQL), with 700 linked tables, 650 forms/subforms, 130 modules and 850 queries.
I pretty much know all the major benefits of doing this, but now need to look at how this can be achieved technically, so I can put a project plan together.So, my plan was to convert the queries into stored procedures and/or views on the backend and re-write the forms in WPF or WinForms.
Now, the code is where I come unstuck. Is it possible to packaged up the code behind and modules into dlls and consume them whilst it is slowly ported to VB/C#?
What we can't be left with is half an application in VB/C# and half in Access, it must 'appear' to all be one application, even half way through the migration.EDIT: Just some more info about what we do and why we're looking at moving away from Access.We are essentially an ISV and the Access application is our main product. This application has been developed over a period of 15 years, by many, many developers on an ad hoc basis. There is no documentation for this application.
We also have problems with getting branching in SCC to work properly, so we've currently got 4 or 5 code bases for the half a dozen clients we have. On top of that, all the testing we do is completely manual, which you can imagine is very labour intensive, and only scratches the surface of what really needs to be tested.We're currently looking to expand, and have a number of sales leads that are in the final stages. I'm worried that with these new sales, we're going to be swamped with support and testing, and that this application is going to become even more entangled an buggy.
I'll also add to this the fact that we're just about to enter the spec phase of a brand new product, which is almost certainly going to be built in .NET. If we were to rewrite the Access application in .NET, then the people we use for that can go straight on to this new development. If we were to stay in Access, then we'd have to get some new Access people in, whom would have to be retrained once we start the new development.
So essentially it has come down to two choices, major refactoring work in Access to try and 'organise' the code a bit better, and those of you who have suggested culling parts are most probably right; I'm sure there are parts that are no longer used. However, I fear that if we stay in Access we still won't be able to build in effective testing and we still won't have proper SCC branching, which will lead to support continuing to be a nightmare, and any future developments on this product makings things worse. Either way there is a lot of work that we're about to embark on, which is either going to be done in Acces, or .NET.
I need to update a database app written in VB, Visual Studio 2003, using an Access Database.Currently: Customer has 4 users, local network. Access Database is 30MB, about 50 tables.Wanted: Customer is opening new offices, and wants to connect to the database via the internet. There will be 10-15 users.App background: I have all data access via OleDbDataAdapters and one OleDbDataConnection.There are 4 DataSets: Global, Lookup, Reports, FormSpecific.
I have one Private function: FillTable:
Private Function FillTable(ByVal TableToFill As DataTable, _
Optional ByVal OleDbAdpToUse As OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter = Nothing) As Integer
' fills the table by using OleDbDataAdapter.Fill(aTable)

All is working well.What I Need to Do:I think I need to migrate the Access Database to MS SQL. What I Have:Visual Studio 2008 Professional. I have started the MS SQL walkthroughs. I did the �Create a Data Connection to the Northwind Database� walkthrough, and connected via MS SQL Server. I cannot find where I can modify the SQL Commands. If I convert my Access Database to a MS SQL Database then can I
1) Just update the OleDbConnection, so it connects to the MS SQL Database (not the Access database).
2) If I cannot do #1, what do I need to start with?

View 2 RepliesI have a program in VB.NET 2005. At some point I have to open an Access2003-Application for getting data in it. I do that by pretending my program is a human user and let it do all the work in Access as a human user would do. Filling Fields, pressing buttons etc. I use the Primary Interop Assemblies for that. So far so good. That code is in use for over half a year now. In the last week I got Office 2007 installed on my machine. Of course I tested the installed version of my program if everthing still works. Every test was succesfull. But if I do the same tests in Visual Studio it always crashes.
All I get is this Errormessage: {"Das COM-Objekt des Typs "Microsoft.Office.Interop.Access.FormClass" kann nicht in den Schnittstellentyp "Microsoft.Office.Interop.Access._Form3" umgewandelt werden.

i have done some research on converting an existing app to VB.NET, but have not found what I am looking for.

I'm doing database development in Access 2003, and the Visual Basic portion of it is acting up. It seems to be "refreshing" itself constantly. Two very frustrating problems are occurring because of this: 1) Intellisense for properties and such pops up but immediately disappears and turns red and 2) it's automatically checking the syntax of lines before I can finish typing them.
The problem seems to be intermittant. Some forms in the database operate fine while others immediately turn the line red two seconds after I start typing. I am having this problem on both of the computers that I use on a regular basis.
i have a database in access 2003 and i submit a query to a specific table. The fields of this specific table (STOCK_PRICES1) :
DATE --> type date (d:M:yyyy)
CODE --> type text
OPEN --> type single
HIGH --> type single
LOW --> type single
[Code]...
i receive an error. Why? Conflicts between access 2003 and vb.net 2010? SQL Server is better?And another question. My Regional settings regarding the date is d/M/yyyy but in my vb.net example, the @date1, @date2 parameters accept M/d/yyyy dates. Is there a way to define into the parameters the d/M/yyyy specification?
The limit of an access database. Because I only know of manipulating access 2003 database with vb.net. And were going to make an information system for a small hospital for our project. Is ms access still usable for a hospital with over 2000 patients per year? some database if the ms access that I'm using no longer fits for our project.
View 6 RepliesI stucked in trouble recently preparing for distrubute MS Access 2003 Application(mde) with 2003 runtime module.The function SUM() isn't work properly if a table has mulit rows. if mouse over the issued row, then it calculated.If update Office SP1,2,3, it works, which means MS already know the issue.My applcations is running with Access 2003 runtime all the time evenif user alredy have Office installed.Problem is that a user who has Office 2003 product and already updated Office SP, after installed our product, need to update again to fix runtime bugs. This is very weird for users becasue they somethimes need to install SP twice.

The context of the problem is a teacher is reporting on pupils. If a pupil is marked as being absent from class, the other two option groups (Behvaviour and Homework) disappear as no other information can be input.

I am using VB2005. I am trying to write to an Access database seperate from the data's origin. AKA: I need to run a query getting data from one Access table and write it to a table in another Access database.
Overview: I need to get data from one Access table and two Excel worksheets. I need to write the data to an Access database so I can run a query combining the three into one table. I will then use the table to create reports.
I have googled, checked multiple sites, and checked MSDN. The only thing I have been able to find is populating a datatable and writing changes back to the database. This was SO easy in VB6.
I have a small and simple program. I am accessing an Access 2003 database that has seven columns:
ID-AutoNumber (3) - Primary Key
Business-Text (40)
Address-Text (40)
City-Text (20)

In VB, under Data Sources, I set five to textbox and the last two to linklabel. I then dragged each to my form. When I run the program, everything works, navigation and data displayed. However, I have not been able to figure out how to have the URL and Map (linklabels) when clicked to open into a browser. I have found many sites on the web that gives me example code to hard code one specific linklabel to be presented as a hyperlink, but have not found a solution to making a linklabel a hyperlink when the data is filled from an Access database. I am also trying to figure out how to mask the data. For example, I want URL [URL] to display as Homepage, and [URL]to display as Directions.

I have a Visual Basic 2008 Windows form application that processes some scores and data. I want to export the data to an Access database. I have created the Access database and connected it to the VB program.I am looking for a simple set of commands or sample code to add records to the database. Perhaps I am oversimplifying the problem, but it seems like it should be so much easier than it has proven to be. I only want to export the data in code; the user should never see the database or do anything to it while the program is running.
