The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Problem connecting sql Server Migration for Access

Asked by Ruben_Jimenez in SQL Server 2005

Tags: SQL SERVER, ACCESS

I need to export an Access databse to SQL Server Express.  I've installed the SQL Server on my local machine and downloaded SQL Server Miigration for Access.  When I try to define the server.  I get the following error:

Connection to SQL Server failed.
A network related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to the SQL Server.  The server was not found or was not accessible.  Verify that the instance name is correct and the SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (Provider: Named Pipes Provider, error 40 - could not open a connection to SQL Server).

I have tried setting the server name as :

SQLEXPRESS
LOCALHOST
HOST
127.0.0.1
LOCALHOST/SQLEXPRESS
HOST/SQLEXPRESS

On the SQL Server Configuration I have the following settings:

SQL Server 2005 Services
- SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS) - enabled
- SQL Server Browser - enabled

SQL Server 2005 Network Configuration
- Protocols for SQLEXPRESS
- - Shared Memory - enabled
- - Named Pipes - enabled
- - PCP/IP - enabled
- - VIA - disabled

SQL Native Client Configuration
- Client Protocols
- - Shared Memory 1 Enabled
-- PCP/IP  2 Enabled
-- Named Pipes  3 Enabled

I've got SQL Server Express 9 installed and the Migration Assistant is for SQL Server 5.  Could this be the problem?  I downloaded each yesterday.

Any ideas on what I'm missing would greatly be appreciated.
