Problem to migrate simple Access mde app and Microsoft Sql Database to another PC
Hello there,
Im struggling to move an old Access app, which runs on a windows server 2003, to my Windows 10 PC, The app is run from the Server desktop via mde file and is connected to a microsoft SQLEXPRESS database installed locally on the server, I installed locally on my pc windows 10 Microsoft Sql express, and changed the hostname of my PC setting "SERVER".
I can access the tables and the database seems to work, but when I launch the "example.mde" file from my computer the application fails and cannot find the database asking me for the path..
if i click continue with trusted authentication it ask me again for every move i make .. I don't know how to specify the data source or connection string for the database on the new machine, I believe this is about the ODBC driver, attached the error I get.
this is the Image of the error i get
Thanks in advance for the help
