SQL 2000 only using 8GB of 16 GB available

I have Windows 2003 Enterprise..../PAE is set.
SQL 2000 ENT, sp4, AWE is set.

In the startup SQL log...I see that AWE is enabled.

If I fix the memory below 8 GIG...it will change to whatever I set it
to...no issues.

However...anyti me I set the memory above 8 GB is doesn't grab it. THe
most it will grab is 8 GB.
I get the message that AWE is enabled...but I also get a cannot
allocate min memory '14000'. The OS has 16 gigs of memory....and it
shows 7 GB free after SQL grabs the initial 8 GB. Why does SQL only
use 8 gigs?

I want it to take the entire 15 gbs. Is something in the OS holding
the memory...even though it shows available?

Do you have the following hotfix installed?

Whenever possible please post enough code to reproduce your problem.
Including CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements usually helps.
State what version of SQL Server you are using and specify the content
of any error messages.

According to MS Knowledge Base Article 269824, " ... must be installed ... on any computer on which someone may make design changes in an Access project to a SQL Server 2000 database". This is the situation I'm facing. Can I download these Client Tools and install them for free, or are they only available on the SQL Server 2000 Installation CD? Thanks for any help!

I've got MSDE, SQL Server 7.0, installed. I want to handle an .mdf developed by someone else so I loaded the .mdf into my /DATA folder. But, MSDE/ODBC can't see the database. I subsequently discovered that it was created using SQL Server 2000. Is this the reason that my MSDE 7.0 doesn't see the .mdf? If so, how can I use this database with my 7.0? Backup from 2000, restore to 7.0? Thanks for any help.

First off, sorry if my cross posting offends anyone. I'm posting this in Access and SQL Server groups - not sure which one is appropriate.

My experience with ASP.NET is pretty limited and my experience with SQL Server is nonexistent. We have an MSDN subscription, so I went...

I’ve been using the code below in Access 97 for years now without any problems at all. Unfortunately, I now have to convert this db to Access 2000. I tried using the conversion feature and that was a bust. All my reports, queries and other forms work OK except for this routine. The first hang-up begins with the “dbOpenSanpshot” – does this exist in 2000? Also when I type “rstPatient” the “FindFirst” isn’t a method available to me nor is...
