When creating a new project from an existing Access database (which is
located on my local drive), what do I enter as a server name?

Thanks.

If by 'project' you mean an Access Data Project, these do not use Access
databases, they use SQL Server databases. You need to enter the name of the
instance of SQL Server that will host the database. If you have installed a
default instance of SQL Server on your development PC, it's name is the same
as the network name of your PC. You can access it using that name, or you
can use '(local)'.
