Problems creating format file.

sql2k sp4

Howdy all. I havent used format files inside BCP in several years and am having trouble creating one now.

declare @.exec varchar(1026)
set @.exec = 'bcp faa_ivr.dbo.primary_informant format -SboxName\instanceName -c -T -f\\destination\FAAIVR\primary_informant_format.txt '
exec master..xp_cmdshell @.exec

output
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
SQLState = 08001, NativeError = 17
Error = [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][Shared Memory]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.
SQLState = 01000, NativeError = 2
Warning = [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][Shared Memory]ConnectionOpen (Connect()).

I've tried brackets ([])around the box/ instance name. I've tried using the FQDN. I tried the SA account instead of WINNT authentication. All ideas are appreciated.it might be that the service account doesn't have permission to the location that the file is at. copy it to the server|||The file doesnt exist yet, Im trying to create it. I've also tried to create it locally, and that didn't work.|||I like to create my own

Problems connecting to SQL2K after install on same server as SQL 2005

We have a current install of SQL2005 Developer on a Win 2003 Server Enterprise and it works as advertised. It is accessed as Test05

Yesterday a SQL2000 Developer Edition was also installed on the same Server as named instance Test05\Test052000.

The 2000 seems to start and run OK and can be connect to by Management studio etc from that same box. However it can not be connect to via the network. Any ideas?

You will have to make sure that the system and SQL Server are set up to allow remote connections to the server. Look at this KB Article.

Problemm setting permissions

Hello everybody,
I ran into a strange kind of problem in SQL2K. I tryto give a user
select permissions on fn_trace_getinfo, but then I apply the new
permissions I get the message "Invalid object name
system_functionschema.fn_trace_getinfo". How is this possible. I see
the function and as sysadmin I can use it, but when you try to change
permissions it says the object doesn't exist ?
Does anybody know why this is happening and if there is some way
around.
Tia MarkusHi
fn_trace_getinfo is a system function.
What happaned if the user run
SELECT *
FROM ::fn_trace_getinfo(trace_id)
WHERE Property=4
