I wrote a VBScript program that runs on five computers running Windows 7 Pro X64.
This VBScript program needs to access to an MDB database (an Access 2000 database) stored on a computer on my LAN, and it contains sensible information.
At the moment my VBScript program works thanks to a hidden network drive that maps the folder containing the MDB file and that is mounted just for the time needed and after it is dismounted. I'd like to know if there is the possibility to access remotely the MDB file from the VBScript program using some ODBC or another driver .
Thanks for attention.
I have an Access 2010 Database (.accdb) and I am attempting to connect it to Qlik Sense Enterprise.
With QS Enterprise, I was able to connect an Access Database (.mdb) using OLE DB connectivity, but I have not had any luck connecting a .accdb database using this method.
I was able to connect a .accdb database file using QS Desktop with an ODBC Connection, but OLE DB has been a nuisance. I updated my Access 2010 Redistributable Driver (though it did not need it) and that did not fix the problem.
I tried saving my .accdb file as a .mdb, but I was given an error saying:
"You cannot save this database in an earlier version format, because it uses features that require the current file format.
These features include attachments, multi-valued fields, offline data, data macros, calculated Columns, links to unsupported external files, newer sort orders, newer encryption types, and navigation controls."
I am not entirely sure why I can connect the .accdb file through QS Desktop, but not through QS Enterprise.
If you're using OLEDB check you have the Jet 4.0 data driver installed on the server.
Macros and VB macros are very limited in Access.
I've good C#/.NET skills and created an app with System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.GetObject (captures some process) to use with Microsoft.Office.Interop (makes some Office stuff).
It's works like a charm with .accdb files (MS ACCESS 2010), but when i want to automate mdb base with security...
For example, i can't get Access process with opened DB:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office14\MSACCESS.EXE \server\database.mdb /WRKGRP "\server\security.mdw"
New process just starts.
I decided to create an Office Add-In for Access 2010... but when user opens shortcut above - it's just not loading.
Is there any possible solution to open/get/capture Access process with opened mdb database?
upd1: i'll try to play with msaccess cmd startup arguments
Got it!

Look at GetShellApp method - you can pass any arguments and connect to encrypted\user-based-access DB
I have the Bullzip MS2mySQL converter and another converter by Convert-In.com installed. I am working with a MS Access 2010 accdb file which is working fine in Access but gives errors in both converters. Both converters work fine when used with an old Access 2007 mdb file.
The Bullzip converter error is "Error 3706: Provider cannot be found. It may not be properly installed." I have an open forum topic over there but I have open topics there which are months old with no replies at all.
The Convert-In converter's error is "Unrecognized database format". Their docs specify Access 2010 support while Bullzip does not make mention of versions supported.
The Access Save As dialogue is not offering me any options other than 2010 accdb.
Does anyone have any advice on this? Client needs to continue using Access as GUI but I need to fluidly port data to mySQL for our web apps.
// EDIT
My copy of Access 2010 only offers accdb even for new files. So I tried creating a new database in accdb format with 2007 as the version and imported only the tables from the problem file. No forms or queries etc. Same errors from all converters tried.
// EDIT 2
Per HansUp's suggestion to import data into another file - I changed version to Access 2003 and mdb shows up as format and file is opened by converters!
"The Access Save As dialogue is not offering me any options other than 2010 accdb."
Sorry, I don't have Access 2010 so don't know why it won't let you save as MDB. However, since that option is unavailable, create a new MDB, then open it and import everything you want from the old ACCDB into the new MDB. Sounds like you would then be able to use your converter utilities with the MDB.
If at all possible, I would prefer to replace the native Access tables with ODBC links to their MySQL counterparts. With all the data in MySQL, you could avoid the challenge of synchronizing data between Access and MySQL.
I have a MS Access 2007 database and a WSS 3.0 site (neither of which I am very experienced in). The database is currently stored on a shared drive with users remoting in to work with it. In an effort to improve usability and performance, I want to host this db on my WSS 3.0 site. Is this feasible? I need to be able to access and edit data using forms, as well as run reports, all through the UI of the sharepoint site.
You can host an .accdb on a WSS 3.0 site, but users will need Access 2007 to open the database. See this article for basic info: http://office.com/redir.aspx?assetID=HA010131469.
If you want to host Access on Sharepoint and let folks who don't have Access use the database, you need Access 2010 and Sharepoint Server 2010: http://office.com/redir.aspx?assetID=HA010356866.
