MS Access authentication with SQL Server database? - sql-server-2008

We have an application whose UI is MS Access with Office16 version, the backend database is SQL Server 2012 Version. When we Launch the application, The application will communicate with the backend database thru an ID/pwd and then pull the data from the database and show it on the UI.
Now the backend database password got changed and we are getting ODBC failure when the Access application is launched. Usually how does the access applications will authenticate with SQL Server 2012? and where do we need to update the database password in MS Access?

It sounds like you need to run odbcad32.exe and update the credentials in the ODBC connection for your database.

Can't connect to the SQL Server while using Microsoft authentication in Windows 10

I am using Windows 10 on my laptop. I have an Azure account and I use to login to my computer. I have installed SQL Server and Management Studio under this Azure account. So I can login to SQL Server with Management Studio anytime and I don't have any problem with that.
Now I have created another account on my computer with Microsoft Email ID. I can login with this hotmail email Id to the computer. But this time I can't login to SQL Server with Management Studio.
I get this error:
Can anyone tell me how I can login to SQL Server while using the Microsoft account?
there is a default login for SQL Server with a UN = "sa" and its password usually is set while installation. try to figure out that and you may be able to connect.

Connect Access Database to Qlik Sense Enterprise

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.

SSRS Remote server access

An error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted)
Cannot create a connection to data source 'DSView'. (rsErrorOpeningConnection)
The feature: "The edition of Reporting Services that you are using requires that you use local SQL Server relational databases for report data sources and the report server database." is not supported in this edition of Reporting Services. (rsOperationNotSupported)
Hi, I have encountered the above mentioned error while doing an SSRS project. And from the research, it seems like it is SQL server related issue.
I am trying to access a remote SQL server....so I was wondering how can I get rid of that error?
Do I have to install SQL server Standard edition on my local machine or the server that I am trying to access should be installed with Sql Standard edition?
I have got Express editions installed on both my local machine and the server...
Thx
From Books Online:
Report data sources must be SQL Server relational databases that run
locally in SQL Server Express.
Features Supported by Reporting Services in SQL Server Express.
With SQL Server Express you can only use a Data Source where the database engine is from the same instance running SSRS.
If you need to connect to other instances your only options are to get a backup restored to your local instance or to install a SQL Server edition that allows remote Data Sources; most likely Developer for your own needs or Standard or above for any production instances.
It depends on what's allowed under your specific licencing agreement.
A neat way to get around this (that just worked for me) is to add a Linked Server on the Local machine to point to the server that hosts your remote data source.
Then modify your Dataset query in the SSRS report to look something like this...
select * from openquery(REMOTE_SERVER,'Put your original query here');

Try use http://tfsadmin.codeplex.com/ to check the users permissions in SSRS.
