please do not open all these threads for the same question...
instead of providing the "MSSQLSERVER" name (which only is the name of the
service) provide the server name (=ComputerName or ComputerName\InstanceName
for named instances)

"Overflow!" error when Upsizing from Access

Hi
I've just installed MSDE 2000 Release A on WinXP Pro. All seems okay, but when I try to upsize an Access Database, I get a message box saying "Overflow!".
Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong? I'm new to SQL Server
Cheers
Dan
It depends on which version of Access you are using -- see
http://support.microsoft.com/default...;en-us;q294407 for
the Access 2002 upsizing whitepaper -- there's a link to the A2000 one
if you're using that.

|||Mary,
Thanks, am downloading that now. Forgot to mention I'm using Access 2000.
One question though.. when you install, what's the default login you would use? I used the SAPWD switch to create my password, but what's the Login ID for a default instance? May seem like a silly question, but it might be what's causing my problems!
Cheers

and password with the upwiz, not integrated security (the whitepaper
should discuss this). It's a valid login that you create. FWIW,
upgrading to Access 2003 is highly recommended if you're going to keep
an Access FE to a SQLS BE. A2k was released *before* SQLS 2k, and
there have been many improvements and bug fixes since then.

"Invalid Cursor Error"

Dear,
Does anyone have a clue when Microsoft is going to release it's next service
pack for SQL-Server? I'm running build 859 at this moment and I can't alter
any table anymore in my enterprise manager. ALTER TABLE is fine as long as
you don't wish to change a column into an identity column. I do not intend
to spend money on this by calling the support line, since I know what the
problem is and spending money on this seems absurd. There is no kb article
for that error as well(although it's is fixed in higher builds than 859) so
there is a big chance they don't want to give me a higher build because of
that (at least that is what appears from other articles). Anyone who can
help me? My development time reduces drastically and reinstalling isn't an
option!
yours sincerly
Michael

1) If they can't fix that problem, you dont have to spend money, they'll pay
that back.
2) What's your code? Do you use ADO or something like that?
I can tell you that *no* alter table /alter column statement supports that
natively..
--does *not* work
ALTER TABLE table1 ALTER COLUMN nid ADD IDENTITY (1, 1)
Therefore, I think that the 'cursor error' is raised because some
object/component that you use, did not test this possibility and now it bugs
out...
3) Having the latest ODBC / oledb drivers might help.
Mine is 3.525.1022.0 (odbc32.dll) 2000.85.1022.0(sqloledb.dll) and so on...
4)
this below works...
BEGIN TRANSACTION
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL SERIALIZABLE
SET ARITHABORT ON
SET NUMERIC_ROUNDABORT OFF
SET CONCAT_NULL_YIELDS_NULL ON
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
SET ANSI_PADDING ON
SET ANSI_WARNINGS ON
COMMIT
BEGIN TRANSACTION
CREATE TABLE dbo.Tmp_Table1
(
nID int NOT NULL IDENTITY (1, 1),
adfs char(10) NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO
SET IDENTITY_INSERT dbo.Tmp_Table1 ON
GO
IF EXISTS(SELECT * FROM dbo.Table1)
EXEC('INSERT INTO dbo.Tmp_Table1 (nID, adfs)
SELECT nID, adfs FROM dbo.Table1 TABLOCKX')
GO
SET IDENTITY_INSERT dbo.Tmp_Table1 OFF
GO
DROP TABLE dbo.Table1

Well they were nice and are going to send me the patch. I was a bit
frustrated but if they send me the fix, my problems should be over . But a
few nightly hours searching can drive you mad every now and then; :-D

Just plain simple Enterprise Manager. I tried to work around it with the web

Yep that's what I figured out as well. Enterprise Manager generates some
extra statements to support that I've read somewhere.
