Hi folks,
I tried to copy one database from my work machine (server1) to another machine (server2). When I have been the "Choose a Destination" step, I did not see the name of the server2 under the "selected server" window. Do you know how to set up the server2 for server1 access through it? please show me how to do it. I don't know how to set up two servers connect together. I got the errors below during I have been this step:
1) Error source: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server
2) Error Description: [DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen(Connect()).] SQL Server does not exist or access denied.
3) Context: Error during initialization of the provider

Thanks,
Vu

Easier to do a backup and restore then you don't have to be connected to both at once.

==========================================
Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
DTS can be used in a similar way.

If you can't see the destination m/c from the pc you are running dts on then you can't do it.
What happens if you try to ping the server. Can you access the sql server via query analyser?
If you can do both those then you should be able to access via dts. Do you have the correct network stack? Check in client network utilities and put in an alias with a different protocol.
