Hello,

I have a windows SBS2003 server with msde installed.
I created some odbc datalinks in microsoft acces to one of my sql databases.
The links are ok end i can access the odbc links in microsoft acces on my
server.

Problem :
When i open the access database on my workstation and try to connect to one
of the odbc links, i getr the followin error.

ODBC-connection to 'SQL Server<servername> failed

Microsoft Access can't open the table in Datasheet View

Any suggestions?

Thank you,

Hi

Your MSDE instance was probably installed without the network protocols

See http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=814130 on how to run svrnetcn.exe.
