| Hi all Yes, thanks to the suggestion, I have located some usefull answers. In fact the initial starting up problem was the root cause, but I had a bigger project, where I had to move databases between servers as well. I had tried searching Microsoft for startup sql parameters only. For those interested, the location is http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;EN-US;314546 The transfer from 7 to 2000 is a special case Thanks for all the guidance Cheers Ray *** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com *** Don't just participate in USENET...get rewarded for it! |
