Hello,

I use MsAccess 2002 on a Windows XP platform, together with SQL Server 2000.
I installed SQL Server on my XP machine prior to installing Service Pack 2
for XP. Everything worked fine: could use the Upsize Wizard, ADP etc.

After installing Service Pack 2, I can no longer get a connection to SQL
Server from Access 2002. Using the upsize wizard I get the messages:

       [DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or
access denied.
       The Upsizing Wizard only works with Microsoft SQL Server (versions
6.50 SP5 or higher). Please log in to a SQL Server data source.

SQL Server is running, and I can see the tables etc. via the SQL Server
Enterprise manager. I switched off the firewall, but no effect.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
