The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Access97 ODBC to iAnywhereASA - #Name? Error with LONG VARCHAR

Asked by WannaB in Sybase Database

Tags: , , ,

We have Access97 databases that we plan to move to iAnywhere's Adaptive Server Anywhere (ASA)  DB server (Sybase).  We purchased ASA a few months ago and are just now getting around to putting it online.

I downloaded the Access to ASA migration utility from the iAnywhere web site to convert the Access97 data back end.  Unfortunately the utility doesn't work with Access97. Sooooo  I gave a copy of the 97 .mdb file to one of our staff running Access2000 and he converted the file for me.  I then migrated the Access2000 file to ASA.

Everything seemed to convert OK, or so I though.  

I created an ODBC data source, connected a copy of our active Access97 front end to the ASA database using ODBC  and then started looking at the data in the tables by opening up each table object.     What I found was that some of the tables opened up with an "ODBC- Call Failed"  and all the fields had #Name? in them.

All the tables that are affected have Access MEMO field types which where converted to the ASA Long Varchar field type.   Funny thing is they open up with Access2000 front end to ASA no problem but Access97 can't open them.   If I delete those fields with the Long Varchar data type Access97 can then open them up.

Is anyone familiar with Access97 to ASA (Sybase).  Is there a custom datatype I can use for the Access97 MEMO type?  Do I have to change a setting somewhere??

I'm just starting my journey with ASA so I'm not familiar with other data types I can use instead of ASA's Long Varchar.

Thanks
