SQL Server Error
I have a windows form application in VS 2005 which use sql server 2000. After deploying the application on a client machine, at the login prompt, it gives me the following error message:
"An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections [provider: Named Pipes Provider, error 40 - Could not open a connection to SQl server]"
Please help.

I read the article and double check the user name and password on the server. However, the problem is still there. This application works ok without an error message on the machine it was created on, and on another client machine, the error message comes up but after clicking continue, the application starts, so it seems that some setting need to be in place somewhere to eliminate this problem.

Did you read the final section at the end that deals with the specific error?
If that doesn't help, please provide more information. FOr example, explain what scenario you used, how you connect to the server, where the database and web server are located etc.
Cheers,

I am using a database not a web server. The database is located on SQL Server 2000. During the design phase of the application I can connect to this database ok. All the forms pull their information correctly. After I publish the application and try logging in, on the machine I use to create it, everything is perfect again, however the problem starts when I install it on another machine. On one of the machines that has windows 2000 OS, I am allow to click continue and the app runs inspite of the error. On XP OS, the application produces that error and remain there, nothing happens.
I read the article that either explain ASP or\and sql server 2005. I cannot find an article that addresses sql server 2000 which do not have the sql express.

Most of what applies to 2005 applies to 2000 as well. However, it's hard to tell if that's true in your case as you're not really providing enough information:
1. Are the application and database servers physically separated from each other?
2. Which scenario (from my article) are you using?
3. How are the different servers connected to each other (LAN, Internet)?
and so on....
