Connecting to SQL 2000 database with SQL 2005 tools installed

Using asp.net in Visual Studio 2005, we are getting an error message when
trying to connect to an existing SQL 2000 database.. This has only hapenned
since we installed the SQL 2005 client tools.

The error is:

"An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When
connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that
under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections.
(provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance
Specified)"

We are not trying to connect to a SQL 2005 server? - Does anyone know what I
can do to fix it?

Many thanks,
Neil Paddock.

Can you post some sample code? You should be able to use the SqlClient
classes to connect to a SQL 2000 database without any issues.

Hi there, I am currently developing an ASP.NET program that connects to a SQL Server 2000 database. I also have SQL Server 2005 Express installed on the same local machine. Prior to installing SQL Server 2005, my apps were working and is connecting flawlessly to a database on the SQL Server 2000. Now, whenever I connect to the same database with the 2005 version installed, I keep on getting this error:

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
