I am working with Microsoft Office Access 2003 on MSWXP Professional SP2. In attempting to open one of the sample database projects that come with Access 2003, NorthwindCS.adp, I get the following message: "Microsoft Access could not find either Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine or Microsoft SQL Server installed on your computer. Click OK to display the Data Link Properties dialog box and log on to a remote server. If you want to install SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine on this computer first, click Cancel, install it from the MSDE2000 folder on the Office CD-ROM, and then reopen this Access project". Instead of downloading & installing the Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine, I downloaded & installed the SQL Server 2005 Express Edition SP1 instead. After having restarted the computer and relaunching Access 2003 & opening the NorthwindCS.adp I still get the same message as mentioned previously above. My question is can the SQL Server 2005 Express Edition SP1 be used or must the SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine be used instead. I understand that running Microsoft Windows Vista must use the SQL Server 2005 Express Edition SP1 but I am running MSWXP Professional SP2 instead. Advise?
Hi,AFAIC remember 2003 ADP projects are not fully supported / working in conjunction with SQL Server Express even with t the compt. settings changed.
