Re: Access 2003 application with MSDE backend connection error in



Hi Alex,

I created a UDL file and it works on the other computer with two different
user accounts. So that would mean user permissions aren't an issue. The
other computer is also using the same SPs and MDAC as on my dev machine so
that's not an issue either. The connection only seems to be an issue when
I'm trying to create a connection using my deployed application.

I'd welcome any other ideas you have.

Thanks,

Barb
