Changing VB.NET 2003 connection from SQL Server 2000 to 2005 database.

leo813

I'm having a difficult time getting my current VB.NET 2003 application
to point to my upgraded SQL Server 2005 database. I performed the
upgrade from SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2005 on my local computer
and when I try to reconnect my VB.NET project to SQL Server 2005, I
received a message that states unable to connect.

Does anyone have an idea on how to do this? I'm fairly new to both
programs and inherited the project from someone else who wrote the
program.

Thank you for your help.

Leo,

Why do you not try it in a little new project doing this.
That takes 2 minutes and gives you the connection string in the created
config.file.

I hope this helps,

I believe that SQL 2005 has tcp/ip access disabled by default. If this
is the method you are using to connect then make sure it is enabled.
You can do this by going to SQL Server configuration manager and then
to protocols. Also make sure your new connection string is valid. An
easy way to do this is to use a .udl file. Check out this link for
instructions on how to do that:

Migrating to SQL 2003

by: Neil | last post by:

We are running SQL 7, using Access 2000 as a front end. Our network person is wanting to migrate to Windows 2003 (we're currently on Windows 2000), and wants to know if we should migrate to SQL 2003 at the same time. Are there major changes between SQL 7 and SQL 2003, and how hard of a task would it be to migrate our single database to a new version of SQL? Thanks, Neil
