hi ,
for some reason every time i try connecting to my northwind sql server from VS2005 i get an Error massage.
first it was the remote connection that didn't allow me to connect and after that i got a different error massage concerning some Error log file ,i think it was northwind_log.

Isn't northwind the name of the sample ACCESS database you get from office?

So your SQL db version has been setup/installed correctly?
Your SQL server is configured to allow remote connections? named pipes? given login permisions? (login/usage permisions for users/computers too)

Have you gone through:
