Hello all,
I am sorry if this question has been answered, but I have had no luck finding a concrete answer to this question. Or I am not asking/searching for the question the right way.
I have 3 text files, I receive daily, that I need to import into my database. Until we upsized to SQL, we were manipulating the data in Access, and everything was fine.
These three files do not come with a primary key, and we have to insert one row of information into one of the tables. Once we get the flat files, we use our import specifications to set the field types, etc.
Our process works like this:
1. Get the files and import them by spec.
2. Compare one of the import tables (importTable_new) to the current table and write the differences to a third table.
3. Delete out the data from the old tables and copy the new information into them.
This process cannot change due to the way our system is setup. Our data gets filtered prior to us receiving the file, so we have to make sure we always use the most current data from the extracts. We have saved previous data in other tables, so I am not worried about that part.
My problem is this:
I am using a DSN-less connection (ODBC) to the SQL server and if I try to run a query that updates the SQL-tables, using a local table, it errors out. There are a myriad of errors that came out of this, I have tried to hunt down what I could and solved a fair amount. However, I continually get:
MS Jet OLEDB 4.0 cannot be used for distributed queries because the provider is used to run in apartment mode.
I have done the steps on the SQL server to remedy this error to no avail (turning on ad hoc reporting, etc).
I have tried OpenRowSet, but that did not work out all due to the continual error from the server.
I tried to use an SSIS and it drops the import specifications on import to SQL from Access.
I am wondering if either a stored procedure or vba-brute force will fix it, but I just don't know enough to figure it out without some help/guidance.
All I want to do is take three local tables and paste the results in the matching 3 SQL tables in the backend, without deleting the tables (or if I have to delete the tables, to be able to re-create them with the right field types and settings). The tables are identical in field type, name, size, etc.
I am not afraid to do work on this, I just don't know what direction to go.
We are using SQLserver2008(R2) and Access2010.
Thanks for any help!
Will
