Thanks.
My experience is limited in this area but as far as I can tell the only difference with a named instance is in the server name. Instead of 'MyServer' you use 'MyServer/Instance' in the connection string. You can easily test this yourself by installing SQL to a named instance on your PC (or use SQL Express which by default installs a named instance). -- Paul _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
