Hello, I installed MSSQL Express 2005 and it seem to be running okay when
entered thru the Management Studio. However, I do not see an instance of it
when trying to connect to it thru Delphi 2006. Can someone help me here.

Thanks!

Tony,

How are you trying to connect thru Delphi 2006? BDE? ADO?

My database instance was called MACHINENAME\SQLExpress. Try something like
that.

I've tried using MACHINENAME\SQLEXPRESS. However, I am getting the following
error: Test connection failed because of an error in initializing provider.
[DBNETLIB] ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access
denied.

Is it possible for someone to walk me thru the installation steps? Here's
what I have done so far:

1. I've installed Delphi - This is working fine - I can connect to Access
Databases using ADO and to Firebird/Interbase with no problem.

2. I've installed SQL 2005 Express - This is working fine thru the
Management Studio. However, I cannot connect to any database thru Delphi
IDE or Borland's Database Explorer.

What am I missing?

What is your connection string? Mine is:

Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Data Source=codelegal;Initial Catalog=sashwin;Integrated
Security=SSPI

and that works (codelegal is my machine name, sashwin is my database).
