Hello Xav, I have tried that however then the message pops up "this file is in use" "enter a new name or close the file's that's open in another program" so i stop the service then i can access it, the interesting thing when i go to SQL 2005 surface area configuration, i go to analysis services then to remote connection, i click on it and it gives me an error message saying "the serverproperty with name='network\listenonlyonlocalconnections' doesnt exist in the collection"? do you think that this might be the problem?
