I'm trying to connect to an instance of sql espress using sql server management studio express, and when asked for the server name I typed ".\sqlexpress" but I get an error. Is there any other server name I could use to connect.
Thanks.

Try at the Login window, under "Server Name". Select "Browse for more" in the dropdown tap. This should find all server connections on your computer.
I already had a SQL Server 2000 connection, so when I downloaded the Express 2005 addition, it automatically found my connection.
You should be able to see a named connection point in the main tree of your C drive also.
If this does not work, try Re-Installing and it should ask you to setup a server account.
Hope it helps.< xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
