Hi All,

Apologies if this is a stupid question.

I have inherited an Access application and its been a few years since I dealt with Access.

Its Access 2010 and uses linked tables against SQL Server 2008.

I have moved the mdb to a new server and relinked the tables to point at a new data source/instance.

This all seems to be fine , except I have two forms that when I try to open them, I get a SQL Server connection error which then opens a popup to select a data source,this by default seems to want to connect to the instance on the old server, and even if I select the new instance it won't connect and I get the same error.

This also happens if I try to update dependencies.


Any ideas?

Thanks for your time.

Then something in your connection is wrong. You need to reconnect with the correct DSN, or ODBC.
