Problem accessing SQL Server in upsizing wizard

After I enter the server (local) and the new database
name (upsizeSQL) in the upsizing wizard's 2nd dialog, I
get the following message after clicking
on "next":

[DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen(Connect()).]SQL Server does not
exist or access denied.

When I click on OK, I get another message:

The Upsizing Wizard only works with Microsoft SQL Server
(Versions 6.50 SP5 or higher). Please log in to a SQL
Server data source.

The wizard never gets to the 3rd dialog. I am running a
local instance of SQL Server (MSDE) version 8.00.760.
Does anyone know why I am getting these messages and the
wizard refuses to get to the next dialog? Thank you,
Edward.

Hi Edward,

SYMPTOMS
When you use the Upsizing Wizard to migrate the database objects from a
Microsoft Access database (.mdb) to an existing Microsoft SQL Server
database, and you use the System Data Source Name (System DSN) or the User
Data Source Name (User DSN) to connect to the instance of SQL Server, you
may receive the following error message:



[DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen(Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access
denied.

Additionally, when you click OK on the error message, you receive the
following error message:



The Upsizing Wizard only works with Microsoft SQL Server (Versions 6.50 SP5
or higher). Please log in to a SQL Server data source.

This problem occurs when your Access database and the instance of SQL
Server do not exist on the same computer.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, use a File DSN to connect to your instance of
SQL Server when you upsize your Access database. To do this, follow these
steps:
Start Access.
Open the problem database.
On the Tools menu, point to Database Utilities, and then click Upsizing
Wizard.
In the Upsizing Wizard dialog box, click Use existing database, and then
click Next.
In the Select Data Source dialog box, select the appropriate DSN to connect
to your instance of SQL Server on the File Data Source tab.
Click OK.
Enter the appropriate authentication information to connect to your
instance of SQL Server if the SQL Server Login dialog box appears.

Follow the instructions in the Upsizing Wizard.

Notice that the Access database is successfully upsized without any errors.
MORE INFORMATION
Steps to reproduce the problem
Start Access.
Open the Northwind.mdb sample database.
On the Tools menu, point to Database Utilities, and then click Upsizing
Wizard.
In the Upsizing Wizard dialog box, click Use existing database, and then
click Next.
In the Select Data Source dialog box, select the appropriate DSN to connect
to your instance of SQL Server on the Machine Data Source tab.
Click OK.
Enter the appropriate authentication information to connect to your
instance of SQL Server if the SQL Server Login dialog box appears.

Notice that you receive the error messages that are mentioned in the
"Symptoms" section, and you cannot continue the upsizing process.
