HELP


        I moved a database and application created in MS SQL Server 2000 to
MS SQL 2005 Express.  And when I run the applications I am getting  'SQL
Server does not exists or Access Denied' error.

        I can find nothing wrong with the connection string that I am using,
so I tried an old trick to create a new one on the MS SQL 2005 Express
machine

        Create a blank file in notepas and name it something.udl
        Double click on something.udl
        It will open the UDL creator asking for Server etc.
        I could not get this to find the SQL Server either using (local) or
Drop down  or SQLExpress

        HELP

        How can I find out what is wrong with my connection string?
