| I'm trying to connect MS SQL Server 2005 to Visual Web Developer 2008 but can't seem to find how to type the server name correctly. I've looked through a bunch of tutorials but they all take for granted that the "connection-log on" is without complications... Thankful for any help![computername]\SQLEXPRESS is apparently wrong. |

| Is it all on the same computer? [computername]\SQLEXPRESS usually works but there can be issues with the windows firewall, the service might have stopped or the account you are trying to access the server with might not have proper access.- LumbagoMy blog (yes, I have a blog now! just not that much content yet) -> www.thefirstsql.com |

| Yes, It's all on the same computer. I'll check the firewall, I hadn't thought of that. I've made sure the server is started, so that shouldn't be the problem. How can I check if the account has proper access? |

| Answering my own post again: In another forum I was told to install Microsoft SQL Server System CLR Types, Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Management Objects and Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Native Client. I did so, restarted the computer but still get the exact same error message. So the problem has changed but I the subject is still the same. Any ideas on a solution? |
