Hi,

When using Vista it cannot connect to a SQL 2005.

We first discovered this in our ptogram, and then I tested it in the ODBC
control panel. It says that it cannot find the SQL server.....

When connecting to a SQL 2000 it works fine.

This is only a problem in Vista. Works great in 98/2000/XP

Thanks,
David
 
Are you trying to connect from local machine to local SQL Server?

I just installed both and have no problems. If you are trying to connect
from another workstation this I have not tried. It may have to do with
computer browser service which I notice is not turned on.

Hi Lloyd!

On the same machine I also have Win XP, and there it works.

The SQL 2005/SQL 2000 is on a Win 2003 server.

What authentication mode does the sql server use? If it's Windows make sure
your Vista user is added.
