• I don't know.

    When I try to connect I get this error.

    Server: Msg 17, Level 16, State 1, Line 1

    SQL Server does not exist or access denied.

    That is using for

    @server='ServerName, i.e. computername ',

    and

    @datasrc='default instance name i.e. MSSQLSERVER'

    -------------------------------------------

    If I change

    @datasrc='computername'

    I get a different error.

    Server: Msg 18456, Level 14, State 1, Line 1

    Login failed for user 'domain\useraccount'.

    If I change

    @datasrc='computername\MSSQLSERVER'

    I get a different error.

    Server: Msg 14, Level 16, State 1, Line 1

    Invalid connection.

    -------------------------------------------

    Named pipes is not enabled on SQL 2005 machine, only TCP/IP is enabled. Does named pipes have to be enabled?

    ------------------------------------------

    Also I am using a windows account that is a sqldomainadmin account and DOES have

    owner rights to the database on 2005.

    Any help is appreciated.
