I am wondering how it is possible to make a remote connection to SQL Server 2008 Express to MS Access 2007? I have made a few attempts at it so far, such as the firewall has been turned off on the server and client machine, TCPIP is enabled on the server, etc. I can't get the SQL server browser to run. I have also looked through a few step by step guides online, that have so far not worked. Any solutions to this problem I am having. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.
