connect in ide to sql2000

• Gentleman Auditor

  Hi,

  I know that it is not possible to connect in ide(vb2005 express) to a remote sqlserver. The 1 million dollar is ... can i connect to a sql2000 server that is installed on the same pc as vb2005 express I know I can do it through code but I would like to try this in the ide.

  Cheers,

  Frank

  You posted the same question in a different thread. I merged that one.

  Sure you can connect to any SQL Server database directly in code from VB Express.    Its only the IDE tools that VB Express supports Access/SQL Express only.

  The compiler is the same for Express as any version of the VB 2005.   And all you would have to do is provide a suitable connection string and all the data controls will work just fine.

   But from the VB Express IDE, Access and SQL Express Only

  No, it only works with SQL Server 2005 Express.
