Input A String Into A Access Database Under A Column That Was Originally Setup For Numbers?
Dec 8, 2011
I'm trying to add a string to a access database, for a column that was originally designed for numbers, i have changed the data type under the design view from number to text, yet I still get a error saying that it cannot convert the string expected int32
Input string was not in a correct format.Couldn't store in Parent_ID Column. Expected type is Int32.This is the full exception, i would have put it into code display but the option wasn't there
System.ArgumentException was unhandled
Message=Input string was not in a correct format.Couldn't store <A-238> in Parent_ID Column. Expected type is Int32.
Source=System.Data

I am writing a program that is using a access DB for the info to be displayed. However when i started making the program i started by just databinding the listboxes.
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
'TODO: This line of code loads data into the 'AcskillsDataSet.Skills' table. You

but now that im looking at the data this is prolly only useful for simple data. Im wanting to seperate the data from queries into multiple boxes. Am i better off just manually having a connection to the database and running queries into arrays to sort the data?? The above method looks like im going to be trying to fight the databound stuff. There are two tables and the way the built in query builder is im starting to think its easier to write my own queries in variables or whatever.

I have created a setup using INNO which puts a Visual Basic 2010 Express program on the computer to update an Access database. It works on my Windows XP computer. On the user's computer, which is a Windows 7 computer, the Access database comes up as Read Only when opened. I get an "Operation must use an updateable query" error in the Visual Basic program when I try to create a record. The database has Read Only checked off in it's properties. But when you open it in Access 2010, it says Read Only at the top. (This computer has Access 2010. The database itself is in 2002-2003 format.) How can I get this database to be updateable on the user's computer? It works on my computer/does not say Read Only when opened in Access 2007.

i have wrote a loop to search for duplicate numbers within a column in a database which i have got fine but when i find a duplicate i would like to get the all of the row so if 33 was a duplicate i would like to get the following row.
33MarkWhitesideM12/07/1958Michaeluuu
I have tried to do this buy use something i saw on msnd's website:
Dim foundRow() As Data.DataRow = customerDS.Tables("Details").Select("HNCNO Like '33%'")
However if i change the line to notice the i beside the like
Dim foundRow() As Data.DataRow = customerDS.Tables("Details").Select("HNCNO Like 'i%'")
but i get Index was outside the bounds of the array. Ok i know that means that there is nothing in my array. What i would like is to find the duplicate row associated i. you will probably understand me better when you see the code.
Private Sub checkRowsForDups()
Dim customerDS As DataSet
Dim dupArray As New ArrayList

I have a VB.Net program which reads and writes to an Access database. I am trying to deploy the program using a setup (created with INNO Setup). Upon installation on a Windows 7 computer, Windows 7 is preventing it from writing data without changing the permission settings. It reads data but it doesn't write data. This problem doesn't happen in Windows XP. My question is: is there any way to make the Visual Basic .Net program write data to an Access database on Windows 7 from the setup without the user having to change permission settings?

I've been working on an application for awhile that, basically, allows the viewing and printing of a maintenance database. It allows the user to view basic information for the object and then view the maintenance history. My approach for the maintenance history is simply to have unique tables per object since a history has to be kept for each, however, I'm running into a problem in the application that allows the user to view the general information from one DB and the Maintenance history from the other DB.
Say you have Object ID BG1. I can enter the object ID into a search field, pull the data from the general DB and display the data, but I also need it to pull the information from the maintenance history and display. If maintenance history for this object is not found, then create a new table within the DB, fill the columns with the required fields and allow for the user to edit the history.

My program has an access database with a table called "Contacts". This table stores many values. I have a seperate table that stores surveys. Each contact should have a column for every survey, indicating whether or not the survey has been completed. However, this means I need to add columns to the database while the program is running. I tried the following code, which runs WITHOUT errors, but does not seem to actually add the column.
contactsDataAdapter = New OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter("SELECT * FROM Contacts", frmAdmin.con)
contactsCommandBuilder = New OleDb.OleDbCommandBuilder(contactsDataAdapter)
dtContacts.Clear()

I'm using vb2005express for forms (front-end) and ms access database. I have a form with a master-detail setup. The problem I'm having is that when I set the primary key column to autonumber, I don't get the pk value generated in ms access database into my master datatable in forms when a new record is created. Then I tried setting the AutoIncreament to True in the pk column of the datatable in my dataset (forms). This generates a number in my pk column but its not the number generated in the database (since I think because the pk column is still set to AutoNumber). So I change the field property of my pk to Number in the access database and on my dataset (forms), i still have AutoIncrement to True.
This works okay since what it seems to be doing is getting the max value for the pk column when the datatable is filled upon form load. The problem now is that I normally don't do tableadapter.fill(datatable) at form load since I think there would be a performance issue if record counts around millions. What happens now is that when I create a new record, the pk generated is still 1 which will cause duplicate violation when saving to database. I'm not quite familiar with access features but in oracle, what I do is I create a sequence in database then I create a function that gets the next value of the sequence. Then at form load I set the datatable.column.default_value = get_sequence. How do I do this in ms access?

I doing some maintenance work on a vb .net web app and receive a system.formatexception input string was not in a correct format error after I update a row from a GridView control. The database update returns fine and I've stepped through the code and it never throws an error but when execution finishes and returns to the browser I get the following. I turned on the feature to break when an exception occurs but it never does break. Any suggestions? [Code]

I need to add a new field to an Access database table, the user has filled the table with data, so I have to add the new field but to preserve the old data.
I have found the ALTER TABLE statement, but it gives me an error (ALTER TABLE is not a valid statement)
I done this in php+mysql with "ALTER TABLE People ADD Address TEXT NULL AFTER Name" (as an example)
How can do this in VB2010?

It seems that on clicking datagridview column header, the column will be automatically sorted based on the column type. I have a column showing some numbers. If column type is string, it sorts "1","20","3" into "1","20","3". If column type is double, it sorts into "1","3","20" which is the result that I want. However, there might be some erros in the numbers and error messages(text) will show in the cell instead of numbers. So I cannot set the column type as double. I want to ignore these error messages and sort all the numbers. How can I do this?
Also, I need to add some background colors to different rows in datagridview. So in the column header click event, I call the bkgColor Sub to achieve this. My question is that how can I override the sorting method in this event?
