I am a .NET developer, and I'm currently writing an application using SQL Server 2008 Express. When I run my web application, I terminate all open connections to SQL Server, but even after I quit the web application I cannot use SSMS to gain access to the database. I used Process Explorer, and there are no handles on the .MDF or .LDF files. Also, in Activity Monitor there are no handles. Anyways, when I have this database on a full scale SQL Server 2008 (not Express) this is no problem. I can be on SSMS as well as users on the database. It's only when I use a localhost version of SQL Server 2008 Express that this is a problem. The Remote Access is set to MULTI_USER, so I don't think that's the problem. I just get access denied.

Any ideas?

Is Auto_Close on?

I ran this:
select databasepropertyex('C:\ASP_NET\TESTSITE\APP_DATA\ASPNETDB.MDF', 'isAutoClose')
And it returned 1. So I'm guessing that it means that Auto_Close is on. What else could cause this?

I turned it off and when auto close is off, I get this runtime error when trying to connect to the database: "Cannot open user default database. Login failed. Login failed for user 'XX-PC\XX'" When I turn auto close back on, I do not get this error. Any ideas why turning auto close off would cause this??
