When I try to add a new datasource in the IDE using the wizard, I'm prompted to add a new connection. The default datasource is "Microsoft Sql Server Database File". If I click change datasource, there is no option for "Microsoft Sql Server". Since this option is present in VWD Express but not in VBEx, I'm wondering if this is by design or if there is something I can change to make this accessable from the ide. I can create the connection and datasets in code but then I waste a lot of time rewriting code that the IDE could create for me.
Many thanks in advance,

Hi Kevin,
I can verify this is by design. The Visual Basic Express SKU does not support design-time connections to database servers.
