SQL error when accessing Northwind...

[Guest]

Hi, I have Access 2000, I have never used it till recently. I opened it cuz I
just started a business and decided to use it. Well, when I open the
Northwind db I keep getting SQL errors saying I don’t have MS sql server 2000
desktop engine or MS sql server installed. I found the sql on my disk and
installed but still nothing. I have XP pro…thanks for whatever help you can
give

You are probably opening the version of Northwind that has ODBC linked
tables to an instance of SQL-Server.

Drop this file and found another version of the sample.

Sylvain,

You're absolutely correct! Because I haven't messed with access in a long
while I didn't even know about that one. Whole playing around I found
it...thanx for your response!
