I cannot even connect using Server Explorer. I was about to move all of my .NET deveopment to my Windows XP box, but I thought I would check with you first to see if you know of any known issues.

>>What is strange about attempting to connect in Server Explorer is I can enter the server name and click the Test Connection and it displays the connection was successful. However, I know something is wrong because the database drop down is not being populated. I can connect to the server and the databases from my Vista machine within SSMS without any problems so I thought that would rule out any blocked ports.

>Make sure the sample application's app.config file has the Localize setting set to "False". It looks like the app is trying to open the Message table which contains localization strings. If you want localization turned on, you need to run the Localization database scripts as described in the MM .NET Dev Guide.

Thanks, Kevin. That was the problem. Still researching the framework. Excellent work!
