VB.net 2005 and SQL

Hello,

I'm relitively new to the VS.net 2005 platform and need to create an SQL database for my current project to work properly, but I keep being told that I can't access the SQL Server 2005 Express to create an database.

Has anyone else had this problem, and how can I get around this

Thanks

N. Rawe

    No, this hasen't worked and it is the same error i am experiancing with MySQL as an alternative. For now i shall just use access to do the design and figure out SQL Server later.

    Thanks for the help,

    Nick

    Did you install SQL Server Express during the Install of Visual Studio Even user instances need SQL Server Express as a hosting instance. See if a service with the appropiate Express name is running in the SCM.
