I am having an issue with MS Access 2010 opening a large SharePoint linked list. It was working fine on a Friday afternoon around 4:30pm, but then, the following Monday morning, I began getting an error when trying to open a large SharePoint linked list. Not all of the linked lists, just the largest one, which has 8036 records (the view threshold is 10000). MS Access appears to open the list,but then the wait cursor appears and then after some time an error message (Cannot connect to the SharePoint site '') displays and all of the displayed data is removed.
I've asked our sys admins if there were any group policy or system updates that were pushed and they were not aware of any (but that doesn't mean there weren't any).
Here is a screencast video of the problem that I am having:

I have had success with SharePoint linked list, disconnecting them from Access and Linking anew. I have had mixed success with refresh link option in MS Access.

Goal: don't display the popup when you remove/delete the SQL document in SQL Server.
Problem: before I downloaded the latest version of SQL Server, it didn't show any popup about status when I removed the SQL document.
When I downloaded the latest version of SQL Server, it suddenly started to display the popup.
It always displays when I remove/delete the SQL document in SQL Server.
How do I remove it?
Thank you!
Uninstalling third-party SQL software permanently removed the "Querying transaction count" popup for me. Details are below.
I downloaded Devart's "SQL Tools" pack. It was one installation file
that installed the 15 separate applications into SQL Server Management Studio. I didn't even open any of the applications yet or activate the free trial (not sure if it activates automatically or not), and ever since have been receiving the "Querying transaction count" popup every time a query window is closed.
This was reducing my productivity, so I spent a few hours researching how to remove this popup so I don't have to click the close button thousands of times. SSMS didn't update, there weren't any options within SSMS or Devart to remove this popup, and there weren't any solutions online other than to create a macro to replicate multiple keyboard strokes to disconnect the connection first and then close the query window.
I ended up uninstalling these 15 applications, and without even needing to restart my PC, the "Querying transaction count" stopped appearing. As an added bonus, the annoying "Buy Devart" PC ads with the too-tiny-to-click-to-close-X that were also popping up every few hours (15+ popup ads a day during Black Friday sale too) stopped appearing as well! Hallelujah! Maybe someone else experiencing this "Querying transaction count" SELECT ##trancount popup installed third-party software like Devart's and just needs to uninstall it.
The software below looks amazing and I'm still interested in trying them out if the free trial didn't automatically activate and expire, but will probably install them one at a time so I can figure out which of the 15 programs is causing this popup. SQL Complete was the only one that I kept and is not causing the popup, so it's 1 of the other 14.
Devart's SQL Tools
SQL Complete (Not Causing Popup)
Source Control
Unit Test
Schema Compare
Data Compare
Data Generator
Documenter
Data Pump
Index Manager
Query Builder

I'm taking my first crack at creating an External list in Sharepoint 2010. I've taken 3 training classes in Sharepoint 2010, and am now trying to transfer my knowledge to my own development environment. I've followed the steps for creating my External Content type in Micorosoft sharepoint designer. I am connecting the External Content Type to a table in an external SQL Server Database. I've created a list specifying this External Content type. I've also given all authenticated users permission. I've verified that BCS is running, and all looks good. I've also checked and double checked the steps I used in creating the external content type and list, by referring to the lab manual from my Sharepoint class.
When I try to navigate to display the list, I get this very informative error message:
Unable to display this Web Part. To troubleshoot the problem, open this Web page in a Microsoft SharePoint Foundation-compatible HTML editor such as Microsoft SharePoint Designer. If the problem persists, contact your Web server administrator.
Correlation ID:b7c91266-bbbc-4703-8704-beccbbd92de0
I've tried opening this page in Sharepoint Designer but this doesn't seem to help me. Has anyone experienced this problem before? Any gotcha's that I should be looking for.
Whenever you see a correlation ID, then you should be able to get more information on the failure in the ULS output. Search for that Correlation ID in the logs and you should get plenty of additional information.
If you don't find much in the ULS logs, then change the settings to log additional information.
you need to check selection of primary key of sql tables while retrieving data to list.
To capture the error being thrown, use the SharePoint LogViewer app from CodePlex: http://sharepointlogviewer.codeplex.com/
You need to run it on your server and hit the Play Button at the
top. This starts the Live Monitoring.
Refresh your page that will give you the error with the Correlation ID.
Stop The LogViewer and filter the results by the Correlation Field.
Copy and paste the ID from your browser into the filter field.
You will now see a list of what errors are being thrown in relation to the Correlation ID.
I hope this helps out!
I have created a split database in Access 2007 and need to set user level security. I don't want the users to have access to any of the tables or queries etc. I've created a form so when the database is opened it automatically opens where the user can choose an application to run. How would I go about setting the security levels for each user?
I found the below links using Google. Bit sarcy but it would always be my first port of call without further info or details in a given question showing research already done.

I am using WSS 3.0 and trying to restore a mdf. I attached the database in SQL Management Studio, created a new web application, and associated the database to it. When I go into Central Administration-> Application Management -> Content Databases I see the WSS_Content and it says Sites: 2. One of the sites looks more similar to the other. I was able to log into the Sharepoint web app that has the db attached to it, and while it gives me the basic structure of the backed up site, the content of lists is blank, that was the data I was really after (Announcements, tasks, etc exist as lists but are empty). How do I get access to this?
Kindly remove your old database and make newly added database as a default/only database for your webapplication
I'd link to the the data from SQL Server into an Access database.. and then use MS Access to write these values back into sharepoint.
I've written a LOT of data to sharepoint using MS Access.. and I love the functionality.
the data is in SQL server.. but it's got different guids, or it's not wired up from what I'd assume.
You have the data posted to the SQL Server instance.. I'd just link to it in MS Access, write a couple of queries.. recreate a couple of lists.. and then push it from queries based on Access linked tables (to sql server).. and then jam it into Access linked tables (to sharepoint).
Open Access. right-click link basically. times two. and write a couple of queries.
If it was me, and it was just a couple of lists, I'd do this in a couple of minutes I swear.
I am working with a database hosted at GoDaddy using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio (version 10, for SQL Server 2008).
I am getting this message:
See Object Explorer Details for objects in this folder
probably because they have more than 2500 databases there.
I can still access everything from the Object Explorer Details, but it's a pain when you have to do it everyday.
Does anyone know any way to get the database I am working on to appear in the Object Explorer on the left?
It looks like this is a bug in SQL Server Mangement Studio.
From Microsoft...
The current limitation of 2500 items
expanded in one Object Explorer Node
has been put in place to prevent the
Tree View Control from exceeding the
64K limit when multiple Object
Explorer nodes get expanded. The
Windows XP and Windows Server 2003
version of the Tree View control has a
bug where it just stops displaying
nodes once the total number of nodes
exceeds 64K.
Object Explorer Details window can be
used to see the entire list of items -
it doesn't have the above limitation.
Users can see the list by clicking at
the informational node that displays
the warning in the Object Explorer.
Object Explorer Details duplicates
most of Object Explorer functionality
including all the context menus.
We are reviewing the customer feedback
and considering adjusting this
behavior one more time. Please let us
know if you'd prefer the old behavior
back or if you have any other
suggestions.
I am having this problem on a Windows 7 Machine, so I do not think it is just limited to Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 as Microsoft says.
here is how you fix that, you either press F7 key to display the object explorer details, or from view > Object explorer details
then select your database from the list of databases which will appear in the object explorer details window.
I'd also suggest the filter option in the table context menu, since the question explicitly asked how to avoid the Object Explorer Details.
