I have a SQL Server 2000 running on win 2003 where there is Linked Sever.
Recently we have upgrade the SQL server 2000 to SQL 2005 and things were fine but suddenly one day things stopped working when I have tested the connection for link server. It failed and gave me this error. What could be the possible error .
The source it is linked is a System DSN which is linking is a remote server running Informix Database. The driver is Informix CLI-2.5 (32 bit). Is it the driver that is the cause of error or what ???
"The test connection to the linked server failed."

I am working on a Actuals vs Budget report which needs drillthrough capability. Right now the reports are not deployed, I am working on them in Visual Studio 2005.
My main report has a text box with the Navigation tab set to Jump to report: DrillThrough1025. I have set all the parameters to pass through to the drill through report.
When I preview my main report and click on the drillthrough textbox, the DrillThrough1025 Report opens, but it opens with the parameter bar at the top, waiting for the parameters to be filled in.
Am I making a basic newbie error somewhere?
Any ideas, references, or resources would be greatly appreciated.

Is it possible to connect SQL Sever 2005 Express from SQL Sever 2000 Enterprise Manager? Tried to connect but got the error message "must use SQL Server management tools to connect this sever"
I have created an Access2003 project (existing data) that links to external data. First I connected to a SQL Server 2000 database. Success. Then I tried to set up a Transact SQL data connection to a legacy MDW-secured Access97 database. (A third-party VB6 application goes against it, and we don't have the source code, so we cannot upgrade it.)
The Transact SQL link tests OK but I cannot select any of the tables or queries from the list presented. However, with the same credentials, I can use these same objects in Excel 2003.
When setting up the link in Access2003, I specify JET 4.0 OLE DB Provider, I enter the MDW file on the All tab, a username and a password on the Connection tab where I browse to the MDB file, and specify Shared Deny None on the Advanced tab. When I test the connection, it tests OK ("Test connection succeeded"). Yet on the "Select the Database and Table/Cube which contains the data you want" dialog, "(Default)" appears in the grayed-out dropdown. Then, beneath that dropdown, there is a grid with Name and Description columns. The grid contains query names but the grid is not enabled. The list of queries is this table is grayed out. Neither of the scrollbars works.
BUT... if I use the SAME username and password in Excel2003, and specify the same MDW, there is no problem working with these same database objects in the legacy Access97 database. WHAT IS DIFFERENT ABOUT THE WIZARD IN EXCEL THAT ALLOWS IT TO SUCCEED AND THE WIZARD IN ACCESS THAT CAUSES IT TO FAIL HERE? In Excel, the list of available providers says Microsoft Access Driver, not JET 4.0 OLE DB Provider.
When trying to link to an SQL table in Access 2003, the software appears to be malfunctioning.
The sequence of events is File - Get External Data - Link Tables - Files of Type: ODBC Databases().
The Problem: On two of my computers, the select data source window does not pop up, preventing me from linking to any ODBC data source.
Observations: This function has worked normally in the recent past and works on other computers running Access 2003. One difference between the computers working and non-working computers is Norton Antivirus 2006 (recent upgrade).
Has anyone experienced anything like this? What's going on?

I have a situation where I might want to pull(select) some information from a DB2 database, and possibly push(insert) some data to the same DB2 database. I am sure this is being done in the real world. WHat software, infrastrucure, etc would I need to accomplish this. Is it as simple as using DTS and the proper drivers, or are their better products and solutions. ANy input appreciated.

Step 1 ...delete table "X"
Step 2 ...delete table "X"
Step 3 ...delete table "X"
problem is that afer i create the three steps and start the job it never seems to finish the first steps and non of the other steps run, the job looks like is executing and never finishes. I break the job into three jobs each completes fine. I need this to runs one job, any ideas?
I don't have any errors to share, but I have a question.
What kind of problems (if any) would I encounter if the computer name where SQL Server 2000 or 2005 was installed included special characters? An example would be FNB_(1).

I have a problem with the connection to the DB… I wrote this connection string in the web.config <add name="dbConnectionString" connectionString="server=(local);database=2C2M;Trusted_connection = True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>But then when I creat ( SQLdataSource ) and chose this connection , this message is appeared DataBase schema could not be retrieved for this connection . Please make sure the connection setting are correct and that the database is online. An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the sever . When connection to SQL Server 2005 , this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default setting SQL Server does not allow remote connections. ( provider : Named Pipes provider , error : 40 – Could not open connection to SQL Server ) How I can solve this problem ? Note : I use SQL EXRESS SERVER
hi I have two questions: 1. I want a code to save data typed in a textbox during runtime using SQL server database. The database has a table with several colums where i have to reference the necessary column. 2. Can i use a Gridview to enter data during runtime and save the same data to the database? that is, INSERTING data to the database.
Connection failed: SQL State '37000' SQL Sever Error: 18452 [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Sever Driver][SQL Server]Login failed for user '(null)'. Reason: Not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection.
I have verified in Enterprise Manager that the concerened login is using a Windows 2000 Authentication and has the correct grant access permissions set up for the default database. Also switching to SQL Server Authentication or disabling security are not the options available in this case.
One of my developers is trying to register a SQLServer server (Win 2000, SQL 2000) using Enterprise Manager. He receives the message below;
A connection could not be established to sever_name. Reason: "EXECUTE permission denied on objedt 'sp_MSSQLDMO80_version'.
His login is in an NT group and I added the login the way I've always done. I even tried adding his login alone. No luck. He can register other servers, just not this one. He can connect and run queries on this server using Query Analyzer without issue.
I tried granting explicit execute rights to the sp but the error pops up again but on a different sp this time.
This is not my server and is under the direct control of another dba and IT group. I spoke with them and they were clueless about any security setup/configuration that may have been done.
I have two SQL server one in the office and other on remote location. I have some data on SQL in the office and some data on remote location and need to query the data.
I have stored procedure which dynamically creates a job with 3 job steps which will eventually runs 3 SSIS packages in a sequence. But i dont know why it is skipping the 2nd step and executing the 3rd step. I can clearly observe it in the logs.
And if comment the 3rd step and re-run the job, now it is executing the 1st and 2nd step in a sequence. I can see the log for 2nd package also. Again i uncommented the code for calling the 3rd step which loads data into Oracle tables. This time again it is skipping the 2nd step. I dont know the reason why it is happening so. It is really frustrating me a lot. IS there any precedence/ priority given while loading data into Oracle database?
Job steps First step loads data from staging database to ODS Second step loads data from ODS to DataMart Third step loads data from DataMart to Oracle Tables
Can anyone please help me out.
I have tried all options.
Here is my stored procedure. Is anything wrong in the below stored procedure.
