>Could you define "local database"?
I have Windows XP with SQL Server installed on it. Originally web.config was referring to the server's database. I copied database to my local SQL Server, adjusted web.config and now I'm testing 'locally'.
Using test server and few developers was causing timeouts most of the time.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
