Hey Bonnie,

Hope all is well with you!

>Long time, no see.
Yea, ive been working on Fox projects for awhile and havent been on the UT. We just finished a new release of our Fox product so its back to .Net for me.

>Is this a local server?
yes

>Did you try:
>this.ConnectionString= "server=(local);uid=sa;pwd=mypass;database=Northwind;";

Yes, and i can use the same parameters to login to the server directly through SQL Enterprise Manager.

Does it matter how or if the server is configured in the .Net Server Explorer or is that being bypassed then connecting through code?
