Do you have problem registering the remote SQL Server in the Enterprise Manager ? Can you connect to the remote Server via Query Analyser ?

Is both office connected via VPN ?
If so then just enter the remote SQLServer IP Addr & Port no when running Query Analyser. For example 192.168.1.1,1433.
For Enterprise Manager, click on the left panel tree and select 'New SQL Server Registration'. If you are using wizard mode, enter the ipaddr,portno in the Available server box and click next

would this help



Basically there are two ways of viewing your data. If you have MS SQL 2000 installed locally, you could connect via Enterprise manager. (thats if your web host allows you)

1. Connect to your MS SQL DB via Client network utility

2. You could either use Query Analyzer (if you are familiar with T SQL syntax)

3. Connect via MS SQL Enterprise manager. to use this option, once you have connected

The following step-by-step process guides you through setting up Enterprise Manager to properly register and connect to our SQL server so you can remotely manage your database.

Steps to Register Server properly
1) Go to Start/Programs/Microsoft SQL Server/Client Network Utility
2) Make sure TCP/IP is in the Enabled list and on top
3) Click on the ALIAS tab
4) Click ADD
5) Enter 'yourdatabasename' for the Alias
6) Select TCP/IP for the Network Library
7) Change Server Name under Connection Parameters to "sqldb.domain.com" (This depends on your server configuration)
(use your domain name), Click OK
8) Click OK again to Close Client Network Utility
9) Go to Start/Programs/Microsoft SQL Server/Enterprise Manager
10) Expand Microsoft SQL Servers
11) Right click on SQL Server Group
12) Select New SQL Server Registration
13) Click Next
14) Highlight 'yourdatabasename' Alias and click ADD
15) Click Next
16) Under Connect Using select SQL Server Login, click Next
17) Enter your username
18) Enter your password
19) Click Next, Click Next again, Click Finish, Click Close

Try connecting!!!

alternatively, ask your host if they have MS SQL web admin, it runs over .net framework.
