When I start the program, it asks me for a server. That is the only thing, I think, that is keeping me from starting the program.
What in the world are they referring to when they say "server"? I am running it on my little old desktop.
Server type: Database Engine
I specified dave-dt-i7\sqlexpress, and some other things, but every time, I get the same error:
Cannot connect to dave-dt-i7\sqlexpress.
A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: -1)
I don't even know what that means.
Can anyone help a newbie out? I would even be okay with "try this", because I am completely stumped.
Thanks!
