How to get connectionstring to connect to SQL Express 2005 on the client PCs?

[OuTCasT]

Hi.
I have a application that i want to deploy to multiple pcs.
Included sql express 2005 to the prerequisites and is installed first time.

My pc has Sql Server 2005 and manager. The solution works 100% on my pc.
The connectionstring is the problem with the client pc.
I need the connectionstring to connect to sql express 2005 on the pc's that the solution will be installed on.

At the moment im using

Server =(local);Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;DataBase=;Integrated Security=SSPI;Trusted_Connection=True

This gives me error.

I have done this before but ive lost the project some time back.

Could anyone please help me.

Problem is with access rights to create the database.

Are you saying your application is creating a database?

What happens is, when they first use the application they create a company/database. I did some debugging and found that the application was being installed under program files, and then when i tried to create the database in the application folder it gave a access denied error.
So either set security on the program folder or install application directly into C:\Program Name.

There are a lot of factors to consider. Remember that even though it's a database that's being created, it's still a file as far as the Windows OS is concerned. Where this file (data and log) will be created needs to be accessible (with the proper user rights) to the one creating it. That would depend on who's user the OS is getting from your app.

Good Luck!!!
