One thing that is confusing is I wrote c# code to connect and create a database only to find that something else I did earlier put connection code in web.config. Not only that but it paths using \ instead of / which fails because its an escape code. Im trying to get the sql manager which tells me my sql express 2008 is not compatible with my os (win7 pro). so now im trying to get sp2 of sql2008 before i can get the manager. See what that does. I do agree with you, its probably a rights issue. bain of sql and one reason I hate it. Al

Just a WAG there. _______________________________________________ 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.
