Badia Posted October 29, 2004 Posted October 29, 2004 Hi All I'm using SQL server 2000, Windows XP, VB.NET application. Recently, installed windows service pack2. Then, the VB.NET application returns the following error message :"SQL Server does not exist or access denied". So, I did uninstalled the service pack and sql server as well. Then reinstalled the sql server but still having the same problem. Please help with any clue. Quote
stustarz Posted October 29, 2004 Posted October 29, 2004 I would imagine its just that the SQL server service hasnt been started on the machine. Quote Visit: VBSourceSeek - The VB.NET sourcecode library "A mere friend will agree with you, but a real friend will argue."
Badia Posted October 29, 2004 Author Posted October 29, 2004 I forgot to mention that the service has been started, stopped, and restarted but still having this problem. Quote
Administrators PlausiblyDamp Posted October 29, 2004 Administrators Posted October 29, 2004 How are you connectiong to the SQL Server - using Integrated Security or SQL Server authentication? You may want to check the server settings to make sure they are still set correctly. Also installing SP2 probably enabled the XP Firewall, removing it may have still left the firewall running though - you may want to check if that is blocking access.
