Connection to DB issues

  • I'm connecting from a NT box to SQL2000 with SP3 on Server 2003 with SP1. When I try to setup a new ODBC connection using named pipes connection failes. I can ping SQL by name and IP address and my MDAC are 2.8 brand new. When I use TCP/IP I cna connect but my commerce page doesn't finish processing cc transaction.

    It's an old commerce site built using SSCE 3.0 - however it works fine with SQL7 I'm not sure what's the difference is. Both servers are setup the same and I did copy DB from 7 to 2000 and made sure all the logins are there.

  • Try checking SQL Server Network Utility on your Win2003 server to ensure that Named Pipes is enabled and configured correctly

  • Called our friends at MS - they said SSCE is no longer suppported and was never tested with SQL2000 - that was the end of that.

    I guess new CS is in our future

    Thanks for your help - Mark

  • Did you try changing it from Named Pipes to TCP/IP in the ODBC connection?  Sometimes that is the only way I've been able to connect through some older apps that use the ODBC connection.

  • Yes- I've tried but the transactions don't complete - I was hoping that using named pipes may solve this issue - Mark
