Hi, I'm not a DBA and our DBA is not available.

I get the following error for my connection string when I try to connect to a specific database on the SQL Server 2005:

Below is the connection string:

cnn = "data source=" & CompanyT & ";driver=VPC-002\BALGORD\\SQLEXPRESS;AttachDBFilename=" & ArInvoice.FilePath & ";username=sa;password=balgord;Trusted_Connection=no"
SQLdb.Open cnn

I get the following error:

[Microsoft][SQL Native Client][SQL Server]Login failed for user. the user is not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection

Mixed mode is set in the Server Security properties (SQL Server authenticaion and Windows Authentication).

I searched googled and everyone says set the authentication to mixed mode... It is set to mixed mode so I'm all out of ideas. I think if there was an error in the connection string it would give me a different error right? I dont know I'm all out of ideas, any help will be greatly appreaciated.

Thank you.

Regards,

Irena V.

Create a DB connection from BIDS and use connection string from properties.
