AFAIK, in a scenario where both a SQL Server 7.0 and a SQL Server 2000 are
installed on the same computer, only the SQL Server 7.0 can be the default
instance, as SQL Server 7.0 has not been designed to support named
instance...

|||Hi,
You cant change the Named Instance of SQL Server to a Default instance. The
only solution is to reinstall
the SQL Server both instances.

|||Right Thanks, Let's assume I already have Default Instance running on my
system and now I am going to install new Instance and at the run time I
wanna set it as a default Instance so Can I do this or I have to remove the
Default Instance first ?
Thanks

|||Hi,
No, you cant do that. If you have a default instance already running then
you can only install a named instance. I feel that "default " check box will
be disabled.

|||but you could fool network clients into thinking it was the default instance
by changing the network listening endpoints (i.e. stop your default instance
and have your named instance listen on tcp port 1433, for example), and have
clients connect up to "servername,1433".
It's a hack but it might work for what you want to do.
