Hi,

I have Visual Studio 2010 Professional installed in Windows 7.
During install, I chose not to include SqlServer Express 2008 as I want to use Sql Server 2008 Web Edition instead.
I successfully installed the latter.
I have changed the entry under "Data Connections" in the VS Options to the instance name of my Web Edition instyallation.

When I attempt to add a database to an App_Data folder, however, I am told I can't because I need the Express edition of sql server 2005 or 2008 installed.

How can I just work with the Web Edition instead?

p.s. I CAN create a "connection" to a database (created under the Web Edition instance through Sql Sebver Management Studio) from within VS so it does recognisethe Web Edition instance.
