Question

I’m trying to search in an access database in a query directed to a SQL server.

UPDATE [" + TableVariable + "] 
SET TK_Date = DATEADD(d,-1,GETDATE()), TK_CA = TK_CA - 1 
WHERE TK_Date >= GETDATE()
AND TK_CA > 0 
AND TK_ResultCode in (SELECT Result_Code FROM [MS Access;DATABASE=C:\Users\Config.mdb].[Result_Code] 
WHERE Status = 2 
AND Project_ID = " + ProjectVariable + "
AND [" + TableVariable + "].TK_CA < [MS Access;DATABASE=C:\Users\Config.mdb].[Result_Code].TK_CA)

This is executed from a C# application.
the error i get is: Invalid object name ‘MS Access;DATABASE=C:\Users.Config.mdb.Result_Code’

The variables are being filled in correctly and i have a connection to the databases aswell.

I tried a lot of combinations and searched on google for a couple of hours, but couldn’t find anything helpful.

Answer 1

The syntax you have posted is for Access.

For SQL Server, take a look at OPENROWSET.
