linking to MS Access using ODBC and geometric types?

Sorry for the seemingly novice posting, but I could find a solution for this
on the web so far...

I've been developing a database using postgresql (and loving it) and have
started running into problems with attempting to update records using the
ODBC connection. The tables that contain geometric fields are causing the
problems. Whenever I try to update a record that contains a geometric field
(any field) I get the following error message:

ODBC -- update on a linked table 'public_locatio ns' failed.
ERROR: invalid input syntax for type point: "(100),(100 )" (#7)

When I attempt to update the record without the quotes, as if typing 100,100
in the point field, I get the error:

"record has been changed... blah, blah, blah..."

Is there some trick to being able to use the geometric data types if you're
going to interface with Access using the ODBC driver?

Jeff.

My Access 2002-application need to work with tables from both Oracle and Access. To solve this, I want to run some querys on three views in Oracle and import the results into temporary Access-tables. I have tried this: conn.Provider = "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" conn.ConnectionString = "data source=" & datafil & ";Jet OLEDB:Database Password=" conn.Open datafil

I have an Access 2000 front end that I wish to work with a SQL Server 2000 database by means of Linked tables. Do I have to use an ODBC connection to SQL Server? It seems to be the only option offered in the table linking dialog. Is there a more direct connection with OLE_DB? John South Pangbourne UK

Some time ago I am sure I came across something that said this was possible, though it doesn't seem to work. A client wants to replace an Access back-end with SQL Server tables. We have tried linking the SQL tables to an Access back-end and then linking the linked tables in the Access back-end to the Access front-end. Doesn't work at all. Obviously, this can't be done. What is the best way to replace an Access back-end with SQL tables?

I have a bit of vb code that uses Tables.Append to programatically link tables from Oracle and DB2 datasources. The problem I am having on some client machines is that the link will take anywhere from 1 to 3 minutes to link the table. When I manually link the tables,through Access, it takes no time at all. Note that only certain client have the problem, and the problem will sometimes go away. These clients will usually get an ODBC Call...

Hello, We are in the process of examining our current main application. We have to do some major changes and, in the process, are questionning/validating the use of MS Access as front-end. The application is relatively big: around 200 tables, 200 forms and sub-forms, 150 queries and 150 repports, 5GB of data (SQL Server 2000), 40 users. I'm wondering what are the disadvantages of using Access as front-end? Other that it's not...

I have an Access 97 database that I have uploaded to the internet. I have created a DSN for it with the hosting company and can now access it using .asp code. Everything here works fine. But, I would also like to be able to access the database by "linking" to it in Access. I did something like this a couple of years ago with an SQL Server database. I don't remember how I made the (ODBC?) connection then. (Actually, I think I just fumbled...

I am converting an application from A97 to A2003. I have 2 tables created by another application as a Foxpro.dbf. The table has no index. The connect string in A97 is FoxPro 2.0;HDR=NO;IMEX=2;DATABASE=C:\Test It's really easy to connect to those tables in A97. I'm having difficulties in A2003. I'm trying to follow the instructions in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/824264/.

I have the task to set up an application at work,using MS Access as a front end to a MySQL database. This will be done using an appropriate ODBC driver, and linking the MySQL database to Access. My question is whether it is possible to set something up so that when linking to the MySQL database, the user name which is used for the MySQL connection is taken as the user's Windows ID. If so, then I can set up users and access grants in MySQL...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
