View 5 RepliesI am trying to Connect my VB.net Window Application to IBM_DB2 Database.I have used the same method to connect to previous other databases such as SQL Server, Oracle. But getting an error in DB2.

Basically, we have three databases to grab data from. One is a SQL Server database, one is an Access database (which is particularly annoying to connect to because we have to map a network drive and such), and the final one will be an Oracle database when IT finally gives us rights.I'm thinking about creating a helper function that makes querying any one of these databases as easy as possible. I want to create a two-dimensional array
Dim myEasyResultArray(10,10) as String
myEasyResultArray = DatabaseHelper("Access", "SELECT * FROM Employee")
Is this a good design decision? Also, how can I have the array be the right size? Can I just do this?
Dim myEasyResultArray = DatabaseHelper("Access", "SELECT * FROM Employee")
Should this be a module or a class? I don't really need to share variables?
I am using the code shown below to compare two Access databases with two fields each and write the results to a third Access database. I am getting an error at the "Do While DMReader02.Read = True" line: "Invalid attempt to call Read when reader is closed." Why would the reader be closed at this point if I am using different DataReaders in the two loops?

I'm trying to get going with using MS-Access databases in vb.net. In my case, I have a list of MS-Access database paths as strings that I want to talk to. I don't want to add the databases permanently to my project, since there are many of them (hundreds, actually). To start off, I have something like this:
Public Sub main()
Dim conn As New OleDbConnection
conn.ConnectionString = _
"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & _
[code]....
If I run this, it fails at " Dim rdr = cmd.ExecuteReader", with the error:
"Record(s) cannot be read; no read permission on 'MSysObjects'."
however, I can open the same database using the MS-Access client and run the same query without a problem.
How do I display all the database available in sql and display it datagridview or listview?
View 7 RepliesI've been using MS Access for the database in many of my programs (they're always local databases, copied to the user's computer) and as is no surprise to anyone here, it's a horrible choice but it's what I knew and so I've just defaulted to it.What is the best one to use? How do I go about buying/getting it? Does it allow royalty-free copies? Can I import my existing Access databases into this? How do I deploy it?

View 7 Repliescreated a database and I am able to read from the database into VB and also able to create a new set of feilds. I do needte a set of records, can't seem to find the right code.The access database has 4 columns one of which is a unique code (column name is 'code') that relates to each different item so I would have the user put in the code to the textbox and then the programme will delete the set of records corresponding to that code
View 4 RepliesI probably shouldn't go down these roads, but stuff like this just gets to bugging me. Of course, with any of three possible database backends I should expect some quirks.I have a table that has one primary key field and several NOT NULL fields.So I do a SELECT * from the table and populate a .net datatable with the results.I can create a new row for the table, add the value for the primary key field, and then add the new row to the datatable. Everything works fine in Access.But in Oracle the situation is different.I have to supply values for all the NOT NULL fields before I can add the row to the datatable. As far as I can tell the two tables are the same in the two databases in both databases there is one PK field and the same fields are defined as NOT NULL. So why does the .net data provider for Oracle care when I try to add a row that does not have values in a NOT NULL field and the Access provider not?
View 5 RepliesI use Microsoft Access databases for my big project but I find the performance is very hit and miss. I time the processes and sometimes there is some serious lag. Here is an example of the code I use:[code]I was told that this is a very old method of accessing databases, which doesn't surprise me since it's the same basic code I was using back in VB6 about 8 years ago.

If SQL can do it? So I have this nice new 64 bit machine with 64 bit office and my hands are tied... Can't correct code in 64 bit mode, can't read Access databases in 32 bit mode. I just have a hard time with 64 bit being out since XP, that this it just not fixed yet. Humm the Behemoth that is now Microsoft. Want to use OLEDB?

Beforehand, I had recieved a "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0' provider is not registered on the local machine." error, and after applying the above fix worked fine. However, now that I am trying to publish my program, I am returned with the same error, no matter what target CPU I select. The program works fine on 32bit machines, however on my 64bit laptop it is unable to connect to the database. I have tried compatibility mode, downloaded many different add-ons from the Microsoft download page, but to no prevail. My understanding is that it is not actually compiling the published version to x86, simply running it as such when I build it in Visual Basic, and because there is no apparent way to set target CPU for compiling,
I need to make an application that from a master database creates a number of access database files (tables of a larger db), then these are manually given to users who fill in data, the database files are emailed back to a user who, through the application, combines them again.The only part of this that I am unsure about is problematically creating the access db's. I have read that through Microsoft Jet OLE DB Provider and Microsoft ADO Ext I can create them (the tables and data), but I also need forms.

View 7 RepliesI am in the process in developing a new version of my software. I have changed my design of my database slightly (added a few new tables and new fields to existing tables). The issue is that my users have user data in the old Db that I would like to transfer to the new Db. Both Db's are access 2003. Because my software is distributed over a wide geographical are it would not be possible to do this manually
I have appended data between two different tables in a single Db, but not between two separate Db's.
I have a client that has the basic database on a server(sql server 2005 express database) and wants to work on his laptop from his home, so i guess that i can install the software on his laptop but how will the 2 databases be synchronized, having same data. the synchronization will be made once a day in the morning when he returns to his office. How can this be accomplished?

View 2 RepliesAt my company, product is boxed and then placed on a scale/label printer set up in order to be weighed and labeled. The application running on the PC also records a record of each box in an MS Access Database which is then transferred to the main server. There is a separate access database for each scale PC and currently the only way our shipping department can print out a manifest for each pallet (which contains a list of all the boxes and their weights) is to open the correct access database and print out the report by entering the pallet number. Since there are six printer scales and the shipping person has no idea which scale it will be on just by looking at the number, she has to find the correct database through trial-and-error.
What I've been asked to do is create an application where she can simply type in the pallet number, and it will search each individual database for the number, then open the correct one where she can then print out the report without having to guess where it is. I've already figured out how to make the application open the database and report, but I don't know how to make it find which database the pallet record is contained in.Basically I want it to search a number of databases for a particular number in a field, and the return a value when it finds it of which database it is so that I can plug that in later. I have no idea how to do this and my searches online have proven fruitless.
