So, lucky me, I have geodatabase connections from 10.0;
There is not an Add spatial database connection or sde connection?
here's the connection property view:
[ATTACH=CONFIG]17558[/ATTACH]
and here is the same dialog when trying to add connection, notice the application server is missing:
[ATTACH=CONFIG]17559[/ATTACH]
I can copy the connection file, but when trying to explain to a user how to make connections...
is there a setting that can correct this...
