I suggest that you read those instructions again. The choice of databases
is set at install time. You cannot switch from one to the other without
re-installing the product, so far as I know. If SQL server is installed,
then NetView will use that. You can, as the instructions indicate, set an
environment variable prior to installation, to tell the installation
program to use Access rather than SQL Server, but otherwise that's what
you get. So to switch to SQL server now, you'd have to reinstall the
product. But you should be able to do that and preserve the
customization and the object database (which is nether Access nor SQL) you
have now.
The installation program will detect that you already have NetView
installed and ask if you want to upgrade that installation or install
fresh. Choose the upgrade option to preserve the customizations you have
already made.

Subject: [nv-l] Access to SQL (7.1.3 on Windows)
Is there a way to tell NetView to start using SQL if SQL server was
installed after NetView. We did not know that SQL had to be on the same
server, which is why we had to install SQL after the fact. I find
instructions on how to use Access when SQL is installed but not vice
versa.
I already have SNMP collect set to use SQL server however nothing is being
written to it.
Thanks for you help
