Hmm Microsofts help file for MSSql recommends using TCP over named pipes because they are slow. Named pipes are just a legacy from before tcp was common. There is nothing more simple in life that connecting a tcp socket to talk to an app. Is safe, reliable, and not hooked into any oddities, and you don't have to be on the same computer.

I also found them a bit slow but that may be my usage of them. I think I will try and use TCPIP next time. The few apps I have seen use this work very fast and reliably.
