Nav 3.0 SP3 on Vista with SQL2005 SP1

linkeloetje

I've installed the latest Navision NL4.00 SP3 with Vista update.
When connecting to a SQL2005 SP1 database, I receive a message that the <SQL-servername> cannot be found. Despite, that the servername is showing up in the servername lookupwindow. But when trying to select a database, i receive this message.

I've also tried to configure "cliconfg.exe" but without any succes.

Are there still issues with this Vista hotfix? Or do I need to configure Vista in some way?

3.0 doesn't work with Vista at this point.

Do you mean 4.0? If so, only 4.0 SP2 works with Vista using SQL.

The version is wrong in subject. In text there is NAV 4.00SP3... ;-)

Are you able to connect to this server from another application from same PC? (Management studio, Excel etc.)

Which protocol you have selected on the Advanced tab of Open Database dialog?

I tried to make 4.0 SP2 work with Vista but it reports a version error while trying to use MDAC dll

Is there some patch or anything else that can make Navision 4.0 SP2 work with Vista?

See my blog for more info about the hack to be able to run NAV 4.0SP2 under Vista... but it is not recommended now when SP3 + compatibility update are released.

What will happen to other apps if I change dll version?

Will there be a problem?

I didn't have such a problem, but it is true, that it was on beta version and I didn't use other application. But because it is just version change in file attributes, I do not expect any problem.
