Can't Connect To SQL 2005 Express Edition Via Server Manangment Studio
I have installed SQL 2005 Express Edition on a Windows 2003 Web Edition server. Everything installed correctly, no errors to be found. I also have:
Local & Remote Connections using TCP/IP only turne don
SQL Browser is running as well.
I have tried connecting with the most recent CTP of Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express 9.00.1399.00

Please, I use tyhe Visual Studion 2005 SQL Server Express Edition Management Studio (SMSE) to create the backend database and trying to set the connectionstring from the web config file, but what I continue to get as an error is that "<computername>/ASPNET" login failed for that user, cannot login to the Management Studio.

I Can No Longer Connect To My SQL Server Express 2005 From Manager Studio Express
Everything was working fine. I have been able to connect using windows authentication. Then, I went into the ODBC manager to add a data source and it failed to connect so I went back into the Server management studio to modify users. After doing this I now get an error when I try to conenct the management studio to the SQL server. I wasn't modifying the login for my windows account that I normally use, I was modifying a different one, however I now get the message "An error has occured while establishing a connection to the SQL server. This kind of problem can ocure because the default behavior of the server does not support all connection methods" blah blah. Does anyone know how I can attach to the server? Or, do I need to somehow remove the server and create a new one? How would I do that? Thanks in advance for any input.

Can't Connect To SQL 2005 Express With SQL Server Management Studio Express
I've seen the following error posted when people try to connect to their server via their applications but didn't see anyone having problems when trying to connect with SQL Server Management Studio Express. Am I missing something here? This is the error:<<An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)(Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 2)>>The server is not remote so I don't see why I need to enable remote connection. I am also using the default connection settings.

Visual Studio 2005 Unable To Connect To SQL Server Express 2005
Hi, I have VS Pro 2005 and SQL Server Express 2005 installed on an XP Pro machine. When using VS 2005, in the 'Server Explorer' window I can see and attach to two SQL Server databases that I have set-up. But if I attempt to access the same databases from withn the 'Solution Explorer' window I get the following dialog box message, " Required Component Missing (Dialog box heading) Connections to SQL Server Files (*.mdf) require SQL Server Express to function properly. Please verify the installation of the component or download from the URL: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=49251 " I have uninstalled and then reinstalled both VS 2005 and SQL Server Express twice but it has helped. I don't understand why I'm getting this error because all of the server configuration tools and connection utilities seem to work fine but VS say's that SQL Server Express is not installed. Thanks, CLN P.S. I had another application that required MSDE 2000A to be installed. When I removed the other application I also removed MSDE 2000A and that's when the problem began.

Whether SQL Server 2005 Express Edition Can Work With Visual Studio 2003 (Ver 1.1)
We are new to SQL Server 2005 Express Edition. We are going to develope a solution for one of our client and we have to decide on which database to use for the solution. Client wanted to have a low cost solution. Thus we were not in a position to push them for SQL Sever 2000. In the process, we also thought of having MySQL as one of the option. Another option we have is to use SQL Server 2005 Express Edition. We wanted to know if SQL Server 2005 Express Edition can be used with Visual Studion 2003 (Ver 1.1) or it can only be used with Visual Studio 2005 (Ver 2.0)? Hope to get feedback soon.

Cannot Connect Studio To My SQL Server Express Database
I am brand-new to databases and SQL Server. I have installed express on my machine. I used SQL Server Management Studio Express to create a new database (per the tutorial). Now I would like to access the database from within Visual Studio 2005. I went to the Server Explorer and selected Connect To Database. I selected Microsoft SQL Server as the Data Source and hit Continue. In the Server Name combobox, I select my computer. However, in the Connect To A Database box the Select or entre a database Name field does not show any databased. When I select "Test Connection" I get the following error. "An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remove connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)" In Server Management Studio, under the database's properties, I have the connections set to Allow Remote connections to this server. What am I doing wrong? Thanks, John

Replicating From SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition To Remote SQL Server 2005 Express Edition
Hello, I have been unable to create a replication from an SQL Server 2005 standard edition database to remote SQL Server 2005 Express Edition. The remote express edition is on a Virtual Private Server we are leasing from a hosting company. The name of the remote DB is similar to vs572.si-vs572.com. I can connect to this with SQL server authentication through Management Studio and also with SSIS. But, I have been unable to create a push subscription (I have tried a test push subscription with the same publication to a local SQL Express server here in our office and this works fine). Here is the error message: SQL Server Replication requires the actual server name to make a connection to the server. Connections through server alias, IP address, or any other alternate name are not supported. Specify the actual server name, 'VS572SQLEXPRESS'. The hosting company had originally installed a shared SQL server which would not support replication. They then installed SQL Express edition and I was hoping this would allow us to run a replication. I tried to connect to VS572SQLEXPRESS with out any luck. I check the remote connections, made sure replication was installed, etc., but no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you, Albert

Cannot Connect To Report Server From Management Studio Express
hello there, I appreciate any help on the following issue: When I want to connect to a local report server on as shown in the "Reporting Services Tools" tutorial (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-au/library/aa337424.aspx), the SSMSE does not show the option "Reporting Services" in the "Server type" drop down list in the "Connect to server" dialog. The tutorial says "In the Server type list, select Reporting Services. If Reporting Services is not on the list, it is not installed." This must be wrong as the SSCM clearly shows an installed and running "SQL Server Reporting Service (...)". Also if i call the webinterface (http://localhost/reports/) a page loads that says "SQL Server Reporting Services Home" with some options. And here something is not correct too. The "contents" tab of the report manager says "There are no items in Home." I started to work on some basic tutorials using the sql server business development studio, and everything works fine. I can create reports, which derive data from the AdventureWorks db properly. Can anyone tell me the adequate steps to fix the SSMSE connection problem and the webinterface view problem? Here are some additional informations: I use WinXP SP2, which makes the IIS version 5.1 SQL server is 2005 express with advanced features and i installed the management toolkit, and the AdventureWorks db. Installation history is as follows: .NET framework 2.0 + VS2005 professional edition was installed 1. installed ss2005express+advanced features, on a named instance. worked fine. I did not install the SSMSE at this point, as i knew it is included in the toolkit too. 2. configured the reporting services through the "reporting services configuration" tool. worked fine. 3. installed the management tool kit. worked fine. 4. installed the AdventureWorks db. installed, but was not attached automaticaly to the database engine. 5. attached the AdventureWorks db to the database engine manually. worked fine, can be viewed and accessed properly. So there I am. I have no clue what went wrong. A last hint that makes me think is this: In the SSCM the sql server an the sql server reporting services have different instance ids (MSSQL.1 and MSSQL.2 respectively). Thanks in advance for your solutions and hints, that is - for your time :-) art

How Can I Access SQL Server Compact Edition With SQL Server Management Studio Express?
Hello, I just installed SQL Server Compact Edition, since I am considering using it instead of SQL Server Express for a local database in my application. The documentation mentioned that I could use SQL Server Management Studio Express to connect to the Compact Edition and create and manipulate databases. To try to connect, I run Management Studio and bring up the "Connect to Server" dialog. Unfortunately, the pull-down list of "Server name"s does not include the SQL Server Compact Edition server. I do not know how to type in the server name manually, so I cannot connect. To install Compact Edition, I downloaded it and ran "SQLServerCE31-EN.msi". This installed, and I assume registered, a number of DLLs in "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server Compact Editionv3.1". Is there perhaps an additional step that I left out to complete the installation? Might I need an upgrade to some other components? My Management Studio Version is: - Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express 9.00.2047.00 I would appreciate any help you can provide. Thank you, WTW

Cannot Connect To Remote Named Instance Of SQL Server Express Edition (error 26)
Hi all, One of our customers is running a Dynamics NAV database on a SQL Server 2000 instance. They host several webshops externally, which are fed data from the NAV database using SQL Server Replication. I've installed the SQL Server 2005 Client Components on the SQL 2000 machine, to be able to connect to the hosting provider instances. Hosting provider A runs SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition (Default instance), Hosting provider B runs SQL Server Express Edition (SQLEXPRESS instance). We've got the replication working for hosting provider A. For hosting provider B I'm trying to add a subscriber (SERVERSQLEXPRESS) and it keeps failing with error 26 - unable to connect to server/instance. We've checked all the items in http://blogs.msdn.com/sql_protocols/archive/2007/05/13/sql-network-interfaces-error-26-error-locating-server-instance-specified.aspx and could not find anything missing. I can connect to SERVER, and strangely end up in the named instance, but adding server as a subscriber generates an error saying SQL Server 2005 replication does not accept aliases, IP addresses, etc. and that I need to connect to the correct SERVERINSTANCE in order to add it as a subscriber. We've now opened up the firewalls completely between the machine at our customer and the one at hosting provider B, so that pretty much rules out any blocked ports. Can anyone pleas help???

Cannot Connect To SQL Server With SQL Server Management Studio Express
I recently installed SQL Server Management Studio Express, and used it to connect remotely to SQL Server 2005 Express. The first connect worked fine. It was suggested to me to update ODBC drivers to connect to the server using Microsoft Access. In doing so, I found what I thought were Studio Express updates and tried to install them. From then on, I could no longer access the server. The error was a nebulous one that indicated that is could not find the server. I verified that the the server was set up correctly by installing Studio Express on another machine, and it connected fine. I uninstalled and reinstalled. When I ran it, I did not get the "first time use" routine, and still could not connect. I reinstalled MDAC with my Windows XP sp2 disk and reinstalling Studio Express, and still could not connect. I started a thread - http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/ShowPost.aspx?postid=2557611&siteid=1 - on SQL Server Express foram, and they verified that the server was set up correctly. They suggested that the client network protocol stack on your computer is broken. They suggested I post here to seek help in fixing it. Any help would be much appreciated. Steve Colino

Cannot Connect W/ Java App But Can Connect W/ .Net App - SQL Server Express 2005
I'm having a problem connecting with a Java application but I CAN connect using my .Net application - the user name and password are the same for both (using the same database on SQL Server Express 2005).

Northwind Database In SQL Server Management Studio Express Is Lost Or Used/processed By VB 2005 Express:How To Locate/return It
Hi all, In the last one and half years, I used the Northwind Database in SQL Server Management Studio Express (SSMSE) to learn the programming of SqlConnections, Data sources, Database Exploere, ADO.NET 2.0, etc. via VB 2005 Express. The Northwind Database in my SSMSE got lost very often, but I was not aware of it. How can I know where the Northwind Database is used or processed by my VB 2005 Express projects that were the examples of some tutorial books or my trial projects? How can I release the Northwind Database back to my SSMSE from the VB 2005 Express projects? Please help and advise. Thanks in advance, Scott Chang
