Is Access using a DSN to refer to SQL Server?<br />
If it is an ODBC DSN, you can add the directive<br />
<br />
Failover Partner=PartnerServerName<br />
<br />
into the DSN, e.g.<br />
<br />
[ODBC]<br />
DRIVER=SQL Server<br />
DATABASE=dbname<br />
Trusted_Connection=Yes<br />
SERVER=servername<br />
Failover Partner=PartnerServerName<br />

Hi Expert!<br />
<br />
I have MS SQL Server 2008 Developer Edition.<br />
The Mirroring is configured and works fine for .Net Applications.<br />
See for example <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/5h52hef8.aspx" rel="ugc nofollow">http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/5h52hef8.aspx</a>&nbsp;for using Mirroring in ADO.NET<br />
<br />
But we have also MS Access Frontend Applications. How to use the mirroring in this case? Where the second copy of the database must be configured? <br />
