Re: Connection String in SQL Server 2005 giving errors

Do you use new provider name for MS SQL Server 2005? It is SQLNCLI, not
SQLOLEDB as for MS SQL Server 2000.

HELP


I moved a database and application created in MS SQL Server 2000 to
MS SQL 2005 Express. And when I run the applications I am getting 'SQL
Server does not exists or Access Denied' error.

I can find nothing wrong with the connection string that I am
using,
so I tried an old trick to create a new one on the MS SQL 2005 Express
machine

Create a blank file in notepas and name it something.udl
Double click on something.udl
It will open the UDL creator asking for Server etc.
I could not get this to find the SQL Server either using (local) or
Drop down or SQLExpress

HELP

How can I find out what is wrong with my connection string?
