I created an access database using Access 2003. It is splitted into back-end containg related tables and front-end database containg queries forms etc. Now I am trying to upsize only the back-end database to sql server database through upsizing wizard of Ms Access in order to overcome the 2GB limitation of Access database. I want to retrieve data through jet database engine. But I couldnt upsize. I got following message after going through the upsizing wizard:
"Connection failed:
SQL State 01000
SQL Server Error: 53
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][DBNETLIB]ConnectionOpen
(Connect()).
Connection failed
SQLState: 08001
SQL Server Error: 17
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][DBNETLIB]SQLServer does not
Exist or access denied"
I installed SQL Server 2005 express edition (version 9.3.403500).
My work is limited within the local machine. I dont want to use networking.
What should I do?
Anyone can help me anyway?
With best regards,
Diya
