OK, I was finally able to install MSDE successfully. I activated the service and now I get the little icon in my system tray. YAY! I'm very happy so far. Now, I'm reading on this page here [url]http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnmsde/html/msdeforvs.asp[/url] how to convert my access database from JET to SQL (or MSDE in my case). I choose to create a new database after starting the Upsize wizard. Then I choose the server, which shows up in the drop down box. Then it asks me for a username and password that has "CREATE DATABASE" privileges on the server. So I put my administrator user name and password in, then choose the name of my new MSDE database, but then I get this error message. I've Googled this and came to this site here [url]http://www.banmanpro.com/support/sql2k.asp[/url] and I thought I had it licked, but I can't find this admin area anywhere and I'm afraid that since this is MSDE I don't have this admin area.Anyone? Please help! |

Unfortunately I did try that too. I read in the instructions that you can try to have windows authenticate you by not using a username and password, but I get the same error except it says "null" for my username. Any other ideas??? |
