Trinidave,
It happens when the machines are not setup correctly;
Follow these instructions on all RMS Server and Register machines (machines you install SQL on)
Start | Programs | SQL Server 2005 | Configuration Tools | double click on SQL Native Client Configuration on the left | double click Client Protocols | make sure that Named Pipes is enabled | right click on Named Pipes and select Order | change so the order is 2 if Shared Memory is #1, TCP/IP should be #3 | close
Start | Programs | SQL Server 2005 | Configuration Tools | SQL Surface Area Configuration | Surface Area Configuration for Services and Connections | select Remote Connections on the left | make sure that Local & Remote connections and Using both TCP/IP and Named Pipes is selected | close this screen Select Surface Area Configuration for Features | select Enable OPENROWSET and ... | close entirely
Turn off Auto_Close for SQL 2005/2008 Express
http://tinyurl.com/or8kx . Not needed for full SQL Server installs.
For all machines with RMS installed;
Start | Programs | Microsoft Dynamics RMS or Retail Management System | Client Network Utility | move TCP/IP and Named Pipes to the right hand box, making sure that Named Pipes is on top | select the Alias tab | Add button | put either the computer name of the database server machine or the IP address of the server machine | close (The database server machine should always have a static IP address, that's another post)
Restart each machine
