I have an adp project in MS Access 2003 with an SQL Server Express

  • 0

I have an adp project in MS Access 2003 with an SQL Server Express 2008 as backend.

Everything works fine, except when there is an error on the SQL side, e.g. duplicate indices. the current dataset just doesn’t get updated/inserted, no error message whats-o-ever, but I know it’s not updated, because if I do a select on the server I still get the old data.

How can I “unsilence” the errors? is there some hidden option, or is it a problem that only occurs with access 2003 + sql server 2008?

Any help appreciated as I haven’t found anything helpful on the net yet

    this is actually a very obscure bug in ms access. i found the solution on eggheadcafe, which works perfectly. now the errors pop up too often xD

    SO… if the default language for
    non-unicode programs is for example
    Japanese but the selected language for
    standards and formats is Arabic, the
    ADP project won’t display any database
    error messages whatsoever. Try, for
    example, to save a record with a
    duplicate primary key. Nothing will
    happen, but you won’t know why.

    HOW TO SOLVE: Given the above, the
    language selected for “Standards and
    Formats” MUST ALWAYS be identical to
    the one selected for non-unicode
    programs. Japanese and Japanese,
    Chinese and Chinese, Hebrew and
    Hebrew, Arabic and Arabic, etc, which
    in turn makes the operating system’s
    option to define them separately
    rather useless…
