I have an Access project created on my desktop at home. I can connect to my remote SQL database using Access 2000. When I try to set up an Access project on my laptop (both using Windows XP Pro, desktop has DSL, laptop shares that connection via network) I cannot connect to the remote database. (Error message: Test connection failed because of an error in initializing provider. Catastrophic failure.) What am I missing here?
