Access query on ODBC linked table (Group By" causes "ODBC--Call Failed" error)

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by RogerH 90

Dear all,

I hope you can help me with this matter. I created an Access 2010 database with a linked table using ODBC. When I run a query on this table using the group by parameter I get an error. I changed the query in a pass trough query, but this resolves in the same error. The goal is to summize the amounts on the customer table (Table: Detailed Cust_Ledg_ Entry) in Nav 2009.

With kind regards,

Roger

    hi,

    only a suggestion

    if you are using NAV 2009 on SQL Server, try to create Sql Views with sum & group by on SQL Server and after link the View in Access with ODBC.

    Great posts about this issue here:

    Hi Roberto,

    Thanks for the suggestion. Can you be a little more specific, for instance how to create this view? The post doesn't provide an answer so it seems.

    hi,

    this seems to be an error with the odbc driver.

    1. option:

    create the neded view in the sql server. to do that right click on the views item (under database name) and select new view. you can create a view by writing the sql code or using a graphical designer. maybe your choice.

    be sure to write a correct sql statement. try it in a sql command window before creating the sql view.

    sample:

    SELECT Shippers.ShipperName, Employees.LastName,

    COUNT(Orders.OrderID) AS NumberOfOrders

    FROM ((Orders

    INNER JOIN Shippers

    ON Orders.ShipperID=Shippers.ShipperID)

    INNER JOIN Employees

    ON Orders.EmployeeID=Employees.EmployeeID)

    GROUP BY ShipperName,LastName;

    as you can see: ShipperName AND LastName are part of the group by clause.

    that means: if you use a group by clause nearly every field name must be part of the group by clause except the aggregate entries.

    2. option:

    why not try to create the needed query using a nav query?

    best regards
