Hello
We recently upgraged our server to Win Server 2008 R2
There was a saved Act Premium 2013 folder on the D: disk which contained out working database.
I copied this file to a harddrive.
After we updated the server-- repartitioned C: and D Drives, etc I reinstalled Sage Act Premium 2013 from the website (re-entered reg, key, etc)
I then copied our saved database folder back to the D: drive.
Opening Sage-- and choosing OPEN/SHARED DATA BASE
Then navigating to the D: Drive via Data base I want is not listed) link--- I locate the PAD file on the D: Drive.
When I click OPEN I get the following error:
The DDCTQ5P1 computer could not be reached because the IP address could not be resolved. Verifying the DDCTPQ5P1 is available on the Network, that it has the correct IP address, and that Mycrosoft SQL Server is properly installed may resolve this issue.
ALSO-- if I copy the database folder over to a PC runnigng SageAct on it --directly to the C:drive and in the "Documents" folder -- in a stand-alone situation-- I get the same error.
Can this be fixed? Can we access this database?
thanks in advance----TODD

Teo things, the pad file is a pointer, try starting the database with the ADF file. Also if you didn't stop the SQL server on the computer you copied from it's likely that you didn't copy the ADF and ALf files which are the actuyal database files,

Yes thank you. I was able to open the database and then save it both as a ZIP and as a new database with a new name on my desktop.
I'll move everything (folder and shortcuts) to the server D: drive via memstick-- then see if I can open the new database PAD file from there.
many thanks again
