hi their, i have a problem working with access mysql and myodbc.
i ported a access database to mysql. now i had to integrate the mysql db in the old access frontend. i realized this with linked tables. now i have a problem, because myodbc seems to return the wrong results. the relation between the tables in mysql are fixed with the primary keys and the foreign keys. relations: observation // tablename observation_id // primary key ... activity_no_focal // tablename activity_no_focal_id // primary key observation_id // foreign key Activity1 Activity2 Activity3 Activity4 now their is a formular in access that allows me to create a new entry for the observation. this works fine. at this formular their is a button 'activity_no_focal'. pressing this button, a new formular pops up, and now their should be the possibility to enter data for the set activity_no_focal with observation_id like the new set i formerly created. now it is following problem i ran in: the formular opens, but all the fields for entering the new data do not exist. as i looked in the mysql log file, i recognized, that their is a select statement for this specific observation_id at activity_no_focal, and for sure, it is empty, as it should be. if access gets an empty set for a table, the fields access then presents are then used for updating the db. This is the reason why i think this should be a myodbc error. i guess myodbs gives back some strange data, access can't handle with, instead of the empty set, or the empty set is given back in a way access doesn't understand. So this is my question: does one know how to handle the problem? In advance, the technical data of the soft and hardware i use. Hardware: pentium 4 512 MB RAM 40 GB Hard Disk. Operating System: linux 2.4.20-4GB (Suse 9.1) Software under linux: VmWare (running win2k) Mysql Server running on linux Server mysql 3.23.55-Max-log apache, shh, mail ... Software under win2k: Access 97 MyODBC 3.51 All Service Packs installed (for Access i installed the latest Service Release) MDAC 2.8 thanks for every idea, joshua bacher ---------------------------- joshua bacher max planck institute ---------------------------- -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
