SQL Server 7.0 database with MS Access 97 Frontend

SQL Server 7.0 database with MS Access 97 Frontend

Post by Tod Thame » Sat, 22 Jun 2002 03:58:16



I had an access database that was converted to SQL Server
7.0.  I did this
to get automatic updates and to share it across the
network.  When I imported
the tables, one table had several memo fields.  These memo
fields were converted
to text in SQL Server.  When I try to manipulate the data
from with Access
(which is my frontend), I get an error message.  When I
change the field
to nvarchar with a size of 4000 which would be enough, the
access frontend
only allows 255 characters.  Is there any way around this??

Hi Tod,
Maybe this will help, export the file from access as a txt file and imported
to SQL.
In SQL you can create a table with any field type you want it and get the
txt file.

1. Dr. Watson Errors (SQL-Server 7.0 backend, MS Access 97 frontend)

Hi!

I am running a multi-user MS Access 97 database as a front end to a
SQL 7.0
backend on Windows NT 4.0

My customers get a lot of unexpectable Dr. Watson errors at various
times. I appended a part of the Dr. Watson log-file at the end of this
message.

Each Dr. Watson error causes the Access front end to crash and the
users have to start it new :-(( - this way they can't use the program
....

On my computer, I never get the Dr. Watson ...

My customers have a newer version of the odbc-driver than me and they
have SP6 installed (I have SP 5) - may this cause the problem ?

Please help me !

Thanks in advance,
Christine

The log-file of Dr. Watson:
Application exception occurred:
        App:  (pid=334)

        Exception number: c0000005 (access violation)
