Jim,
Thank you for your reply.
When I changed the name to the name of my computer "SEDNA", it worked!
I thought "(local)" was the proper name to use because the upsizing
wizard offered it in the list. I thought it "discovered" that name, and
after all the name in Enterprize manager is "(local)" not "SEDNA". Now
that you let me in on this sectret, I know. Thank you for tell me the
other scret, that I can upsize to MSDE using "SEDNA\HipMSDE". There is
know whay I could have guessed this!
This all frustrates me very much! How am I supposed to know to use
"SEDNA" rather than "(local)" when "(local)" is offered to me in the
list? and Enterprize manager does not use "SEDNA"? How am I supposed to
know the sintax "SEDNA\HipMSDE" when that is NOT offered in the list?
How am I supposed to know the secret code "SEDNA\HipMSDE"? Nothing
anywhere tells me this sintax!!?!

Where the #%$* am I supposed to discover this! I've been reading these
instructions for two days!!!?! I have not seen anything even hinting to
this.
Why does the system mislead me and accept "(local)" under othere
contexts such as VB.NET connection strings. It was the VB.NET
connection string context that lead me to guess "SEDNA" because that
works in a connection string even though the name of the instance is
NOT!!!! "SEDNA", its the name of the machine.
Where do I learn all these mysteries?
