| I have installed another instance of SQL 2008 on my local box. I see both instances of the database engine in SQL Configuration Manager, but I cannot seem to connect to my new instance from Management Studio.I need to be able to view both instances in Object Explorer. I click connect to database engine, but I only get the option to connect to my default instance. Instance names are MSSQLSERVER and PRODSQL (new instance).Regards |

Your instance then is to reach via:MSSQLSERVER\PRODSQL
