      What SP do you have installed on your machine? SP3 or later are secured aginst the worm so they don't need the update you want to install. André 'A programmer is just a tool which converts caffeine into code'

        I am running SP4 on Sql 2000. Original Problem:I was unable to connect to my dev Sql server from my UAT enterprise manager. It came up with the error message as follows: SQL Server does not exist or access denied. ConnectionOpen(Connect()).I did a lot of googling but of no avail, finally I got to this web page http://www.doughughes.net/index.cfm?event=ViewEntry&entryId=91. Then I downloaded SQLCritUpdWiz_ENU.exe and tried to execute it. I am a System administrator on this machine. However, I am unable to run this, it comes up with a message, Critical Update Unsuccessful. System Info:My OS is win XP Pro(SP2) and SQL server is 2K SP4. I have also tried to connect to the SQL server using port numbers via Server Network Utility and Client Network Utility , it didn't work. Any more ideas? happy coding!

          The update is for SP1 and Sp2, not for SP4 of SQL Server 2000. Do you have access to the sql server from other tools? Ist the connectionstring correct? I never had such problems with SQL Server 2000 (german, devoloper Edit. + Sp3). André 'A programmer is just a tool which converts caffeine into code'

            Hey guess what !!!!!! I am in Cloud Nine..........I have cracked it. When you have a default instance of Sql Server 2000 on win xp pro (SP2), you need to change security settings in the exception tab of the Windows firewall. Have a look at this article , this was like a missile to kill my frustration. "http://support.microsoft.com/kb/841251/" happy coding!

              Thats why I did't have trouble. I disabled the firewall and so I don't have this problems. So happy SQLing :laugh: 'A programmer is just a tool which converts caffeine into code'
