• For the users to open Access they have to have a .reg file imported to their machine that looks like this:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ODBC\ODBC.INI\CE_DB]
    "Driver"="C:\\Windows\\system32\\sqlsrv32.dll"
    "Server"="NBCP-SQL01-VM\NBCSQL01VM"
    "Database"="CE_DB"
    "LastUser"="williams"
    "Trusted_Connection"="Yes"

    The entry "NBCP-SQL01-VM\NBCSQL01VM" may be a problem - "NBCP-SQL01-VM" is the name of the virtual server machine, whereas "NBCSQL01VM" I think is the name of the instance, BUT
    In SSMS the server name is indeed "NBCP-SQL01-VM\NBCSQL01VM"
