| Tom writes "Is it necessary to un-install and re-install SQL 2000 to eliminate the existing instance name. Client's software app has .ini file that requires a null instance name - just the server name with no instance name. This is on Windows 2000 Server SP2, SQL Server Std. 8.00.534 (SP2)" |

You can install a default instance (if you don't have one) and if you don't want 2 instances on the server then you can migrate your db's across and uninstall the named instance. Not being funny but you need to question why the app can't connect to a named instance - not really good enough in this day and age HTHJasper Smith |
