I assume you got this information from someone else? So you could also ask them about server names and IPs (if necessary). I'd leave off the SQLEXPRESS part for now--that's what SQL Server calls a "named instance" and is just their fancy way of naming multiple ports on the same server. If stuff is running on the default port of 1433 you should be fine. If it's not, you'll need to know what port number that instance is running on. -- Matthew Woodward [email protected] http://blog.mattwoodward.com identi.ca / Twitter: @mpwoodward Please do not send me proprietary file formats such as Word, PowerPoint, etc. as attachments. http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/no-word-attachments.html -- official tag/function reference: http://openbd.org/manual/ mailing list - http://groups.google.com/group/openbd?hl=en
