[AccessD] Access 2003 and MSDE2000

Is it a new installation?

By default installations of MSDE do not allow remote connections.
You can use SVRNETCN.EXE to enable network protocols - it's the SQL
Server Network Utility.

Hi All,

I am trying to connect to server running a named instance of MSDE2000.
When specifying the settings for the data link connection, I enter the
server name as ServerName\InstanceName but I keep getting the "SQL
Server does not exist or access denied"

>From the Server, I can connect to and manage MSDE2000 using Enterprise
Manager (I installed EM after the fact) by registering
ServerName\InstanceName.

Am I missing something?

Thanks,
