Hi
I've looked through the setup pages and advice on the forum. The database is working with an asp based program but I have checked the name passwords etc but cannot get past this error.

Errors Occured!
Error #:-2147467259
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][DBNETLIB]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.

I'm using
<%
'TODO: Change the constants below to reflect your database settings
  Const SERVER_NAME = "(local)"
  Const DATABASE_NAME = "mydbasename"
  Const USER_NAME = "sa"
  Const PASSWORD = "mypassword"
  
'declare your variables
  Dim objWiz,  strConnectionString
  
'initialize your variables
strConnectionString = "Provider=MSDASQL;Driver={SQL Server};"& _  
    "Server= "&  SERVER_NAME & ";Database= "& DATABASE_NAME & ";"& _  
    "User ID= "&  USER_NAME & ";Password= "& PASSWORD & ";"
  
  Set objWiz = Server.CreateObject("AspWebSolution.ReportWizard2")  
      
'Make sure you initialize before adding any HTML text
objWiz.Init(strConnectionString)  
      
'put this where you want your reports
objWiz.DisplayReports  
      
  Set objWiz =  Nothing
  
%>
thoughts?? Sorry but I'm kinda new to this as you've gathered.

I'm not sure exactly what could be the problem because my test server uses the same connectionstring format and it works well.

Check this article from Microsoft

Make sure "mydatabasename" is a valid database in your SQL Server

Hi ghost

thanks for the response  - the more i dig into this site the more I'm convinced that this program is the solution for me.
I am still having an issue connecting however. The application I am using accesses the database fine so clearly its me. However the support for the product is intermittant hence trying asp report wizard. So.... back on the newbie bit is there a way I can check the server name? Possibly change it?  The database name is fine as is the login and password and the server name is the only bit of uncertainty.

The server name is usually the name of the computer on which the sql server is installed.
You can check it by right-clicking on My Computer icon then select Network Identification (in Win2k or Computer Name in XP).
The server name will be the first part of the full computer name
