MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce the Behavior

  1. Either upsize a database to Microsoft SQL Server, or create a new database in Microsoft SQL Server.
  2. Create a Microsoft Access project (.adp) for the database that you created in Step 1.
  3. Start Access Workflow Designer. Begin registering the database.
  4. On the Registration Information page, specify the Solution name and the Web URL. For the Web URL, specify a different server name than the server name displayed in the Solution name. For example, if the Solution name is serverABC, the default Web URL is http://serverABC/<database>.
