Access Data Projects Uniqueidentifie r problem

Hi,

I am designing a SQL server backend, MS Access (ADP) frontend
application and I came across an interesting problem.
Lets say I have a table T with the following fields(columns)
[a] (int Not Null, Primary key, Identity auto increment)
[b] (uniqueidentifi er, Allow Nulls)
[c] (text)

When I open the table in datasheet view using Access and type a value
in [c], [a] and [b] get populated automatically. [a] getting filled
with incremental integers is understandable. But, I have not set the
ISRowGUID or a default value for [b] and still it gets popullated with
a random GUID. If I use SQL Server enterprise manager to enter data
into the table T, [b] does not get filled and stays Null. I forgot to
mention that there are no relationships between the tables yet.
Is it MS access that is responsible or is it me? In any case can
something be dont to prevent this? Also should there be something else
in relation to this that I have to look for in the future.

My best

MSSQL itself won't put in a value unless you have a column default or a
trigger on the table, so it seems likely that Access is doing this. You
could use Profiler to see exactly what commands Access sends to the
server when you use the datasheet, but if you want to know why it does
that, then I guess you'll get a better answer in an Access group.

Thanks Simon,

The "problem" in fact does lie in MS Access.

I found a fix here

Hi I have the following problem. I have a SQL Server (2000) Stored Proc that with 4 parameter (one being @UnlockKey uniqueidentifier OUTPUT). I run it from Query Analyzer and the @Key parameter is valued. When I run it from VB.Net it is empty. I tried it with other other datatype and it works fine. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks

I have a table that contains articles (as in, newspaper articles, blog articles, whatever). I need to use a column of type uniqueidentifier because one of the requirements is that I be able to write the articles out to XML or import them from XML, and references (as in, "for more info read this: 2323-232-90934" have to still work after the export and import). So as a minimum, the table is going to look like this: CREATE TABLE...

Do I get more scalability if I split my database? The way I calculate things now, I'll be lucky to get 100,000 records in my Access 2003 mdb. Here some math: Max mdb/mde size = 2000 x 1024 = 2,048,000k Let's say on average each record in the database consumes 15k 2,048,000/15 = 136,533 records

Hi, I want my application to audit any data changes (update, insert, delete) made by the users. Rather than have an audit table mirroring each user table, I'd prefer to have a generic structure which can log anything. This is what I've come up with: TABLE: audit_record *audit_record_id (uniqueidentifier, auto-assign, PK) - unique idenfiier of the audit record
