• Install the most recent version of the Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC)
• Use the Microsoft TechNet article The Cable Guy: Network Diagnostics & Tracing in Windows to check for general network issues.
• Give the user the appropriate NTFS Permissions
• Restart the SQL Server service if the problem occurs on many workstations.
