View 1 RepliesI'm trying to connect to a database on a big corperate network (access db). I can not load my application and DB on a shared network drive as it does not have the correct permissions. How else can I try connecting to a db of some sort and allow users to insert/edit/delete rows? as it's a network drive I can not install a DB such as SQL Server on it.
View 4 RepliesI'm just getting started with VB.NET and SQL Server 2005. I have VS2008 installed on my machine. My SQL Server is in a domain that my machine is not a part of. Here's my code that I'm using to establish a connection:
Dim conn As New SqlConnection
conn.ConnectionString = "Server=SQLServer.hbug.lan;Initial Catalog=HUGRegistration;Trusted_Connection=True"
This code is part of a console app. that I'm using as a test. I'm just trying to set up a simple connection and then read data from the database. When I run this console app. in VS, the program hangs for a few seconds and then I get an error "SQLServerProvider has stopped working". My options are Debug or Close program. When I choose Close program, then an error pops up in my console window "Error: Unahandled Exception: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. I assume this error is spawning from not connecting to the database properly.
I make my Program to Connect via Network to Database..[code]

View 2 RepliesI'm a bit new to VB.NET and I have a database which I want to connect to an access backend stored on a network drive for multiple users. I can view the Database in the solution explorer and the directory defaults to the project folder. How can I specify the directory to pull from my network drive? VS has copied this datasource and imported it locally which is fine for testing, but i need the file accessible for multiple users. Is this something I do when publishing?

I am developing a Visual Basic .NET application to be used by the staff of a small training centre nearby. The front-end (UI, menus, etc.) will all be in VB .NET, and there will be a back-end database for storing all of the required data, such as student records and meeting information. What I would like to know is if it's possible to use a Microsoft Access database for this purpose, and have it accessible by all the staff in the centre (on the same network) at the same time. For example, would I be able to put the database in a shared network folder, and have a copy of the VB application on each PC that would all be able to read/edit/add to the database?

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to connect to a sql server 2005 database. I'm using the following connection string.
Dim cnn As OleDbConnection = _
New OleDbConnection("Provider=sqloledb;Integrated Security=SSPI;Initial Catalog=Iconics")
Using this connection gives me the following error :
Error : Microsoft OLE DB PROVIDER FOR SQL SERVER : [DBNETLIB][Connection open(connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.
Does anybody know what is wrong with this connection string.
I can connect to both databases with SQL Server Enterprise Manager, so I know the servers are up and available. One of them is SQL1, the other is SQLTEST.In my program when I use the following connection string, it work connects just fine:
conn = New DBConnect("Data Source=SQL1;Initial Catalog=SignInspection;Integrated Security=SSPI")
However, if I change SQL1 to SQLTEST the connection times out I don't get any errors other than the timeout error.I can run the profiler on SQLTest and see that it is most definitely NOT even attempting to connect.
EDIT:Well, it's a moot point now because I got authentication working properly on our SQL1 server.
First off, the web server is running IIS and .NET. Users are logged in to the intranet using Active Directory, and the .NET page needs to retrieve their log-in credentials (username most notably). The database is SQL Server 2005, running on a different machine. But the .NET app needs to impersonate as another user to connect to the database.
To successfully do both of these things go to Windows > Run, enter inetmgr and hit run. Navigate to the site and right click > properties, then click on the tab titled Directory Security, click Edit.., make sure only Integrated Windows Authentication and Digest authentication are enabled. Enter your proper AD realm and click OK. Apply the settings/hit OK.In web.config you need the following lines
<authentication mode="Windows" />
<identity impersonate="true" username="myDomainMyUserName" password="123mypasswordgoeshere">
replacing, of course, myDomainMyUserName and 123mypasswordgoeshere with the username and password that has login rights on both your domain and your sql server. The connection string can probably be modified, but this is mine and it works:
Server=SQL1;Database=SignInspection;Trusted_connection=True;
One of my testers is testing my program that imports an XML file and puts all the data into correct fields in an Access database. He said on his Vista laptop he got an error saying: "Microsoft.jet.OLEDB.4.0 provider is not registered on local machine"
I know you don't have to have Access installed to run my program and I'm pretty sure all the OLEDB objects are in the .NET framework so why is it saying that?

I have an access 2007 database that I have been developing a front end for in vb.NET for the past 3-4 weeks using vs2008 in a Windows 7 enviroment. Yesterday I started getting an error of "Your network access was interrupted. To continue close the database and then open it again." This happens in the Form Load on the line:
gotData = Me.LeaguesTableAdapter.Fill(Me.LeaguesSeasonsPlayersDataSet.Leagues)
I can go into access 2007 and view all the data fine and in vs2008 I can view the server explorer and browse the tables. However, under data sources if I try and preview the data, I get the same error message as before. What confuses me the most is that the database is not stored on a server is just stored in My Documents. It was origionally stored on my desktop pc but has been copied to the My Documents on my laptop. But as I mentioned previously it has been working fine and has just all of a sudden started throwing this exception by my Try Catch routine. FYI I have tried creating a new DB and importing the tables from the old DB but this hasn't solved the problem either.
