Hi,

I have a client program which I want to connect to SQL Server 2005 Express through TCP/IP.

I have set "allow remote connection" on SQL Server 2005 Express through SQL Server Surface Area Configuration tool , and I've used this connection string (this is just for example, in real I have set this with the right values) :
Server=190.190.200.100,1433;Network Library=DBMSSOCN;Database=myDataBase;User ID=myUsername;Password=myPassword;


But I got this error message:



Do you know how to resolve this problem?


Thanks,

Kev.

Don't miss the server name syntax Servername\SQLEXPRESS where you substitute Servername with the name of the computer where the SQL Server 2005 Express installation resides.

No, you're never too old to Yak'n'Roll if you're too young to die.

Hello webfred, what do you mean by Servername? I'm using TCP/IP connection here (via IP Address), so is it 190.190.200.100\SQLEXPRESS?

Is the connection string become like this:
Data Source=190.190.200.100,1433\SQLEXPRESS;Network Library=DBMSSOCN;Initial Catalog=myDataBase;User ID=myUsername;Password=myPassword;


Is that correct? Or could you show me the correct connection string example based on your previous answer?
