SQL Server 2000 on Win NT 4.0 does not show drives on other servers when I try to create a backup device. On Win 2000, drives on other machines are shown. Why the difference?
Thanks.
 
This is because you can only back up to a local filesystem in SQL2000 instance.

In 7 you could fudge a local disk mapping //pc/share to a drive letter, but 2000 will refuse to do that.

You need to backup to a local disk (raid is ok) and then copy the backup file to the network location..

SQL Server 2000 on Win 2000 shows me local drives and shared directory (E$) on a seperate machine when I use "Create new backup device" action in enterprise mgr.
 
Hi, I am wondering why this SP does not return any rows when executed from Access 2000?
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[UspContaks] @clyent nvarchar(7) AS
select *
from tabContacts
where ClientID = @clyent
order by ClientID, ContactKey
GO

Access 2000 VBA:
conLocal.Open "Provider=SQLOLEDB;Server=HXXPFSRV08;Database=CustService;Trusted_Connection=Yes"
conLocal.Execute "UspContaks 'Y338032'", lngRows
