Connection to SQLServer stopped working

  • Hi,

    I'm using Access 2003 on client machines to access a SQL Server 2000 db on the Server. I've built stored procedures in the db which I execute in Access via SQL pass through queries.

    I was using an ODBC connection via a System DSN. It was working fine on one machine then tried to duplicate the front end on another.

    The following error was thrown:

    Microsoft SQL Server Login

    Connection failed:

    sqlstate: '01000'

    sql server error :10060

    [microsoft][obdc sql server driver][tcp/ip sockets]connectionopen (connect()).

    Connection failed:

    sqlstate: '08001'

    sql server error :17

    [microsoft][obdc sql server driver][tcp/ip sockets]sql server does not exist or access denied.

    Now I can't get connected to the db anywhere with the connection string that was working. Connection tests that were successful are now failing.

  • Is the system dsn installed on the other machines with the same name?

    How does your connectionstring looks like?

  • And be sure the SQL Server is running.

    I'd also try some pings/odbcpings from the new client to see if it can connect to the server.
