I have an Access database that is linked to our SQL server. My problem is that when our file server crashed, I wanted to be able to take our database backup and run it on a local workstation so that I had access to our database while the server was down.
When I attempted to open the database, it gave me a message that said it could not find the SQL server. I understand this since the SQL server lives on our file server. My questions is, can I install a copy of SQL server on my workstation so that I can use my database locally? If so, how would I accomplish it.
I have a Windows 7 64 bit workstation.
