Can''t connect properly

  • I'm upgrading an Access DB to SQL Server via DTS using a hosted SQL Server.

    Often, the tables that I send don't work right and don't even get copied without major error.  I haven't figured this out yet.

    But, the problem I'm having now is that the tables I recently upgraded via DTS are impossible to open and pull records via Enterprise Manager.

    In EM, I'm able to open and save a table in the 'design table' process. But, it won't let me open it up to pull all the records. I can re-transfer the data with no problem and the site can open the data that's in there, and I can open up other tables that are in the DB with no problems.  I know there are rows in those tables because I exported them back into a new Access DB.

    In EM, when I try to open one of these newly transfered tables, I get this error:

    [MS Design Tools] - ODBC error: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][DBNETLIB]ConnectionRead (recv()).

    [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][DBNETLIB]General network error.  Check your network documentation.

    Then I click okay and it tells me I lost my connection to the database and asks if I want to reconnect.

    My host has said they are certain it's not a SQL Server problem, not a webserver problem, and that it probably has to do with the EM software.

    What's going on here?  I've done a search on MS's support site and found nothing I thought was related.

  • Strange. Can you upgrade the Access db locally and then transfer the data to the server?

     

  • No.  I can't do that either. I get the following DBNETLIB error when I try:

    [DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen(Connect()).]Specified SQL Server not found.

    I know I typed in the correct db because it tests correctly.

    Any ideas?

  • If you have a firewall or XP SP2, try disabling while using DTS.
