  Hi all,

  I have Access 2003 with Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Developer Edition on Windows XP Pro PC.  I just wanted to learn the .adp files and tried to open the electronic .adp files listed in Chapter 15 of the Book "Microsoft Access 2000 Development Unleashed" by Forte, Howe & Relston on my PC. I got the following message:

  Time and Billing 1.0

  Access is unable to connect to 'TimeandBilling' database on the 'Robin' server. Make sure that the database still exists and that the server is running.

  There are no 'TimeandBill' database and 'Robin' server on my PC.  Is any way I can open the electronic .adp files of the Book and copy them to my PC?  Please help and advise.

  Thanks in advance,

  Scott Chang

  I have no experience with adp-projects.

  But probable you need to restore /attach/recreate the TimeandBill, Robin databases on your sql server.

  There is nothing in the book or on the cd that provides a setup/ how to install ?
