Good day everyone;
I'm having a program for a PocketPC that was working great, this program
connects to a database (MSDE) but when I updated the MSDE to SP3a everything
blew-up... There is no way I can connect to my database anymore. The funny
part is that if I connect to a full MS-SQL Server the program works just
fine. Do I need to change anything in my connection string so I can connect
to MSDE SP3a? Any Ideas of how I can solve this problem?
I have MSDE2000 SP3a
MDAC 2.8
VS.NET 2003
I'm using System.Data.Sql Client to connect
Here is my connection string.
mString = "Data Source = myServer; Initial Catalog = Aduana; Password = abc;
User Id = sa"
I also tried this:
mString = "User Id = sa; Password = abc; Database= Aduana; Server =
myServer"
Thank you in advance for your help...

You are using the SA account to login onto the server. When
you upgrade to SP3a, the SA account is no longer supported, if
you use a weak password. You must change you password to
a strong one. I am pretty sure that this is your problem. I am
quite sure that to be a strong password, it has to consist of: a
minimum of 8 characters, some symbols, and both numbers and
letters. I am not positive that this will work, but you might want
to check. I hope this helps!

Thanks Joseph,
I'll try to change the password and check again.
Does this change apply to MS-SQL Server 2000 as well in SP3a?
Thank you very much...

I tried what you suggested, and it didn't work. However I found out that by
default SP3a turns off network connection, using svrnetcn.exe I was able to
turn it back on.
Thanks a lot for your interest.

Yes, this situation also applies to SQL Server 2000 SP3a. I will be curious to hear if that solves it...
