In SQL Server Configuration Manager I apparantly have a server named
SQL Server(SQL Express) running - however, in VS 2005 when I try to
'add conection' (right click in server explorer) I cant see it- I
would like to see it so I can create a new SQL server database.

Any help much appreciated- trying to learn web programming using
vb.net, asp, html, vbscript and SQL server.

sorry bud

Microsoft killed VB so you WON'T be using VbScript to say the least :)

I do not know why your SQL Server won't work.
my laptop won't install SQL 2005 Express because those dipshits didn't
think that it was important to include support for transmeta

kinda laughable in my opinion

I mean; the Xbox portable is built using Transmeta chips.. right??
 
sorry bud
did you really name your server 'sql server'?

I would really avoid putting a space in the machine name; I would try
127.0.0.1\sqlexpress instead

So MS is supposed to support YOUR laptop? And you are??? Oh, yeah, Aaron
Kempf... that's right.... I've heard of you... ain't you the fellow that
programs in Access, but can't stand using a standard Access database format?

When did they kill it Aaron???? When they fired you??? Or was it when you
figured out that you can't tell the difference between VB Classic and
VB.Net?
 
Bruce,

I don't want to be critical, but you actually think he *programs* in
Access? All he does is link up datatables and tell his users to write their
own queries. Have you started drinking yet? ;-)

It was when they figured out he couldn't tell the difference between VB6,
VBA, and VBScript!

ROFL.

Thanks all for an entertaining and (sometimes informative!-)
discussion.
..\SQLEXPRESS in add data (after right clicking server explorer for new
connection) worked a treat.

Thanks again,

Dan
