Connecting to SQL database - odd issue.
We've just implemented a SQL express database with an Access front end. Really nothing big at all. We have 5 computers connecting to it just fine. My PC however is giving me issues. A little background: I was on a domain at one point. I took myself off the domain assuming that would allow me to connect to the database - it did not. I am using the administrator account on my PC. We're using SQL authentication for this database.
I use access and navigate to "Connect". I use the drop box and it sees the SQL server. I enter my credentials and type in the name of the database.
Once I hit connect I get: [DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (ParseConnectParams()).]In
If I click "Test Connection" I get: Test Connection failed because of an error in initalizing provider. I also sometimes get an error referencing a catalogue.
On the server's event log, I get:
Event Type: Failure Audit

You are a genius! The ODBC worked once I switched my connection method from TCP/IP to "Named Pipe". Not sure what any of that means but...Thank YOU!
No worries - you might want to read the following for some background info.

It looks like the server is not receiving a username - see that user is N/A and '' in the error message. Are you trying to logon with Windows authentication, or a username and password? If windows authentiacation - I'd say that you will most likely need to be on the correct domain.
