connection string error message on Windows XP

<< < (2/2)

JohnS:
Move the 2 SambaData files in the SQL Express program files location, and try again. Then copy them back. I think they are SambaData.mdf & .log

That should fix SQL Express locally.

Nice, that worked perfectly on the laptop.

I've given up on the networking until I can get someone in who understands it better than me. Now I'm just trying to get sql express to work on the desktop.

Regarding the XP desktop...
Right now, training mode works fine with Compact. However with Express, I still get the connection string issue. I tried to do the same thing (moving the files you mentioned), but those files don't exist in the folder.

Hey, I pulled my brother in, and he got it to work!!
