Server connection error !!!

Jan 17, 2007 3 Replies

Ok, I know I have asked for help before but now I am really really desperate!! I have a laptop computer that I have installed rms on for back office work. What I had wanted to do since I will be in another city restore the database on the computer hard drive. I had been running rms find will it was connected to my network at the store on the laptop. Now that I trying to run it alone it will not work. It will not connect to the server. ?Sql Server Does not Exist or Access Denied?



I have done a search of the website and located on source that I must use my IP address instead of local. My IP address is now entered. I still will not let me connect . I read a post from end of Aug first of Sept stating needing not just the IP address but another name. I don?t know where to get the second name or if that is my problem.



I have uninstalled and reinstalled 2 times. All I want to do is restore a backup to my laptop but since I can?t connect to SQL it will not let me.



I don?t understand. My HUGE TRADE SHOW STARTS THURSday and I will be traveling tomorrow without internet access most of the day. Please LIST any possible solutions for me. I am truly desperate



When you installed it, you should also have installed the SQL Data Engine, so now make sure that the service has started. In at least one, maybe more, of my installs, it did not start automatically.

Hope you get it straightened out,
