Connecting to remote SQL databases

"ExecuteReader requires an open and available Connection.The connection's current state is closed"

***I know NOTHING about SQL, I am stumbling through this crap***

I have three computers, all running XP; lets call them OS01, OS02, and OS03

-OS01 and OS02 both have SQL management studio installed

-OS02 host the Database

-All three computers should be able to access the database and manipulate the data through a VBA coded front end/GUI

-OS02 works fine

-OS01 gives no errors, SQL management studio does not list OS02 as a connection option under the network tab.

OS03 shows it is attempting to connect but then errors with the above message.

Is my issue on OS03 because I do not have the management studio installed? the VBA code calls the server and Database directly so i would assume the studio was not needed.

on OS01 I have checked the server name...
