Access Issue After Automatic Updates

  • I finally added WinXP SP2 to my system yesterday (along with a lot of other security updates/patches through Automatic Updates) and now my backups and data exports are failing.  Further, when I open my "Enterprise Manager" and try to export data ("All Tasks-Export-...") using the Import/Export Wizard, it won't let me select the "Export From" database.

  • Is your SQL Server instance running under this updated Windows XP?  Or are you just running Enterprise Manager on XP connecting to SQL Server on a server?

    If you are running the database on XP, SP2 introduces many restrictions on Distributed Transaction Controller (DTC), and TCP firewall settings.  There are a large number of items to check and reset.  Start at the SP2 support page at http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?pr=windowsxpsp2.  I would also suggest a MS KB search using advanced search, set Windows XP Service Pack 2 as the product, and "SQL Server" (in quotes) as the search term.

    Hope this helps

  • That helped dramatically.
