===================================================================================A. Steps to perform on the machine where SQL Server is running:===================================================================================

1. Using the Microsoft SQL Enterprise Manger, create a new Database Device to store the data if required. For Example: Project1

2. Create a new Database to be stored on the device you created. For convince you can name the database the same as the device. For Example: Project1

3. Grant all logins (users) access to these new databases.

===================================================================================

B. Steps to perform on all client machines:===================================================================================

1. Start the Data Sources (ODBC) from the Control Panel to setup the SQL Server ODBC Driver.

2. Hit the Add button, and select "SQL Server".

3. In the ODBC SQL Server Setup dialog, type in the following:
