I am running Web Matrix version 0.5, .Net version 1.1 on a computer with XP Pro.
Web Matrix works fine and returns forms properly.
I installed MSDE from the website (SQL2KDeskSP3a.exe) Ibelieve that SQL Server IS running, because I see the tower icon with agreen arrow; when I double-click that I get a message that it isrunning SQL Server.
When I click the "data" tab in Web Matrix I get the blankworkspace. Then I click the New Connection icon at the top left,which opens up a dialog box. I change "Windows Authentication" to"SQL Authentication." That opens up the Username/Passwordprompt. I am entering "sa" for the username (I AM NOT SURE IFTHAT IS CORRECT) and "**secret**" for the password (that's what Ientered in the command prompt when I setup the MSDE). Then Iclick "Create a New Database." I am asked to enter a name.
After a pause, I get an error message: "Unable to connect tothe database server. SQL Server does not exist or access denied.Connection Open (Connect ( )). OK
Do you have any ideas?
I installed the newer (version 0.6) Matrix and now I can find the database.
