Named Instance

  • hi,

    I have a named instance on sql server 2000 like comp1\instance1.

    But i couldn't access the same instance from client side.

    Could you help me how to access the named instance?

    Regards

  • What errors are you getting when accessing the server from the client?

    Can you connect to the server from the server itself?
