Few days ago users start to complain that nobody can connect to the database located on the server.<br />
So I start with the basics.<br />
Verify that all the Act and SQL services are start it on both the client and the server. Make sure the Act sync is running on the server.<br />
I reboot both server and client machine.<br />
I move the database from the server on the local client machine to test it locally.<br />
I even install Act on the server where the database reside. I also restore the Database from backup like few days before all this happens. Still the same error no matter from where I try to run it.<br />

Sage Act can't connect to database

Act! (previously known as Sage ACT!) is a customer relationship management (CRM) software application which is used to keep track of client and prospect details in a single database that can be shared by multiple users. Act! features include contact, company and opportunity management, a calendar, communication tools, the ability to track prospective customers, "dashboards", reports, and the ability to synchronize data from other applications or other Act! users over the web.

Databases are organized collections of data, most commonly accessed through management systems including schemas, tables, queries and processes that allow users to enter and manipulate the information or utilize it in other fashions, such as with web applications or for reporting purposes.
