Help setting up an ODBC link to SQL Server From Access 2003

PLEASE HELP ME

I'm a pretty smart guy, but sometimes I end up feeling left behind with all of the terminology I don't recognize.

I am running XP Pro, Access 2003, and SQL Server 2005 express.

I want to set up a ODBC connection in Access to a table that has been created in an SQL Server 2005 Express Database.

I keep getting the message connection failed, SQL Server does not exist or access denied.

Can somebody here please help me?

Could you elaborate on how you are trying to connect? Are you using named pipes, tcp, or shared memory? Have you checked to make sure that the protocol you are trying to use to connect is enabled by your SQL Express installation?

Thanks,

John (MSFT)

Login with windows authentication and at QA perform
A. Change the password of a login without the former password
This example changes the password for the login Victoria to ok.
EXEC sp_password NULL, 'ok', 'Victoria'
