Hi all, newbie of SQL2000.

Running in LAN SBS2003 with SQL2000 SP3. From a client (InfoPath) I want
to make a dataconnection to SQL2000, but access is denied.
How can I check from the client-PC whether a connection is possible with
SQL2000? SQL2000 is running on the server and when I fill out a form on
the SharePoint library the application can access SQL2000 on the server,
so there is a connection.

Is there a telnet function ? Or a DB-ping ??
Help is appreciated.

gr. Ger.

Found out the following:
Trying to create a dataconnection by VB6, no result, same error.
The same with VS.net, no result, same error.

This has to be a server issue, untill..... I tried with FrontPage 2003 via
the wizard to create a dataconnection and ..... succes.

Now I am back: this should be an issue of the clients ??? But what/where ???

So take it all together:
Apps InfoPath2003, VB6, VS.net cannot create a dataconnection to SQL2000 via
the wizards !!
Apps SharePointSites, FrontPage2003 can create !!

Help is appreciated,

Ger.
