Good Morning All I'm trying to create a simple connection string to a SQL 2000 server using the old "SQL Server" driver - not the Native Client, but it is not listed in my list of providers. I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate. I have reinstalled MDAC 2.8 SP1 with no difference. This is critical to me since I have clients who still connect with this driver. If anyone remembers using SQL 2000 and creating a .udl file, you'll remember that when the list of providers came up, the "SQL Server" was there. This would be the same whether using a gui or building the string manually. It's the provider that's needed. How I make the connection is irrelevant. Does anyone know how to make the provider "SQL Server" appear in the list? Thank you Matthew Wells matthew.wells@firstbyte.net
