I'm currently upgrading my sql server from 2005 to 2008 enterprise server. I used VB to connect to the database. It worked fine in the previous version of sql, but when upgrading it seems doesn't recognize my connection string.
Below is my connection string:
myConnection = New SqlConnection("server=RAVY-PCRAVY;uid=;pwd=;database=CIEDC"); myConnection.Open();
Where Ravy-PCRAVY is my server name at the sql server login dialogue box. And I used the windows authentication mode.
First off, my apologies for being a complete Newb! I have a SQL Express database that I use quite successfully to track my investments in several accounts. I built it myself, it's quite functional, and Im happy with it. The problem is that there are multiple account tables and updating them can be tedious in SQL Server, if multiple purchases and sales in multiple accounts have occurred in a month. Tedium can lead to errors¦
I'm developing a online document management application for my client using the following technologies
Front End - VB.Net 2010 (Windows Forms) Back End - SQL Server 2008 R2 Express (FILESTREAM enabled to level 3)

I'm trying to connect from VB 2008 Express Edition to a database in an instance of SQL Server 2008. Both, VB and SQL Server are running on the same machine. From a VB project, when I try to define a new Data Connection I find just three Data sources available: [Code] I selected the last one but when I browse for the mdf file I cannot select it because it tells me that the file is in USE. I have stopped all the services but still I'm not able to link the database file.
Two questions: 1. Is there a way to connect to the SQL Server Instance and from there to select the desired database? 2. How to connect using the Database file.
