Express. When i try to open a connexion with :
<connectionStrings>
<add name="AppCnxStr"
connectionString="Server=KLEO\SQLEXPRESS;Integrate d
Security=True;Database=C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL
Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data\wizou.mdf"
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
</connectionStrings>

I GET THIS ERROR :

Hi,

As far as I know in the database parameter of the connection string, you
don't have to put the physical database file, but the logical name of
the database in sqlServer.

This is correct. Developer shouldn't usually even know anything about
database's physical wrokings. Anyway, using logical name is the preferred
way and that's how it's also in all samples on the web.
