Make sure the correct MDAC is installed and point the ADO connection/string to the server/MSSQL instance and see what happens. Quote: My second question is If in a computer network, there are 2 pc which be installed SQL Server (at Win 2000 and at Win98). Can I access SQL SERVER at Win98? Yes, but that depends on the installation of MSSQL on Win98. If it's MSSQL 2K Desktop (IIRC, it was the only install available for Win98), I don't remember if it allows 'outside' connections (I don't think it does). You will have to test that.

I don't have enough information to give you a good answer. Why can't you? Do you get an error? What is the error? What ADO version is on the Win98 client? How are you trying to connect to SQL Server? I suspect the ADO version on the Win98 machine is outdated. Quote: And How to access SQL SERVER at Win2000 with Enterprise Manager at Win98? Again, I don't have enough information to give a good answer. If you cannot 'see' the Win98 SQL Server instance on the network, then you will not be able to access it via Enterprise Manager on another machine. I suspect the Win98 machine is running the desktop version of MSSQL, therefore not 'visible' as an instance on the network. krf Back to top Steve Zimmelman Guest Posted: Tue Mar 07, 2006 11:10 pm    Post subject: Re: Can I access........... There were some incompatibility issues with Win9x and SQL Server. I don't know if they have been resolved or not. I generally discourage my clients from using anything less than Win2K, especially when SQL Server is involved. -Steve- "Bpk.

Win9x would freeze far too much. Both in-house testing and client reports. Granted, Win9x suffers from a general freeze problem anyway, but it was our belief that adding SQL server to the mix made it worse. -Steve- "Euan Garden" <euan_garden (AT) hotmail (DOT) com> wrote in message news:441e5467$1 (AT) newsgroups (DOT) borland.com...

Well, I guess that's a matter of opinion. If a technology causes the environment to freeze, then I would say it has compatibility problems with the OS. It didn't seem to matter what application was utilizing SQL Server, it simply had an adverse affect. And it's wasn't only "our* environment we had problems with. We learned to "just say no" to Win9x/ME. The support issues were just too demanding on a flakey OS. -Steve- "Euan Garden" <euan_garden (AT) hotmail (DOT) com> wrote in message news:441ee800$1 (AT) newsgroups (DOT) borland.com...
