Miekp, is your SQL Server accessible from the Internet? If it is and you want me to have a look, you can email me the access data (for the sa account or for the stefan account) and I can have a look. Without running setup.asp?RC=5 you'll never be able to setup Snitz...
i did this and could connect my database when testing this.
if this works and then when i go to setup.asp?RC=5 i still get the the 80040E4D after selecting SQL server 2000 and putting in the same username and password with dbowner priv as i used to do the succesful test conection. Suggecstiosn?
quote: miekp, it sounds like you have access to the server, if so here is a trick to get a workable connection string built.
On the server itself (web server if your servers are split), put an empty text file on your desktop, then rename it to filename.udl
Right-click this file and open the properties page. Then click the connection tab and put in the necessary connection information to hook up to your sql server. You can test your connection from here.
When the connection is working, open the .udl file in notepad and you can copy the connection string directly to your config.asp strConnString, even though it won't exactly match one of the sample strings we provide.

And why did you post twice about the same problem? That behavior is highly disadvisable here. Please DO NOT repeat it.
