Issue: A 3rd party application couldn´t connect to a MS SQL Database. In the log from the application you can see the error message 800A0E7A. How can you solve that?
Solution: Most 3rd party applications which need to connect to a MS SQL Database require the “SQL 2005 Native Client”. If this component is missing on the system where you installed the 3rd party application on you might see error messages like the following on the system:
