title: SQL Server 2008 works, same settings and instance on SQLSRV 2012 doesnt
body: <p>I hope anyone can help me out on this one .. I've been trying to figure out for hours what's happening. </p>
  
  <p>Our office requires us to use SQL Server 2012, and there's a desktop app that has been working fine with 2008 (A custom made VB program). When migrating the same database, using a same name instance of SQL Server 2012, the program will stop connecting (throws this message: 
  <strong>[DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]  Sql server does not exist or access denied</strong></p>
  
  <p>I just cant figure out why. I uninstall SQL Server 2012 and put back SQL Server 2008 with the same instance, and the program just works but I need it to work with 2012 .. Has anyone faced something similar?</p>
