Hi Experts, <br />
<br />
I have a test machine that runs sql 2012 SSAS and has excel 2013. On this machine i can use excel 2013 and access the OLAP cubes running on sql 2012. <br />
<br />
<br />
When I try to connect to the sql 2012 server remotely using excel 2010 I get the following error: <br />
<br />
[DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).] SQL Server does not exist or access is denied. <br />
<br />
<br />
Now the server/instance name and access privledges are all correct. As I can use the same credentials on excel 2013 which setup locally on the sql server2012. <br />
<br />
My gut feel is that this has to something with upgrading excel 2010 connection so it can then connect to sql 2012. <br />
<br />
Next i tried to use ODBC Data Source Administrator (Admin tools) and i got the attached error. This lead to me think that excel doesnt have the right version for sql 2012 in order for the connection to work. <br />
<br />
Please help!
