Unable to connect to SQL database

Hi,

It is only possible to connect to SQL server Desktop Engine databases
and Microsoft Access databases with this version of Visual Studio.

What's the workaround to the above problem in VB.Net 2003 standard??

Thanks,
Chris

You can still establish a connection through code, but you cannot use
the visial tools (IDE) to connect to SQL Server.

Hi Chris,

In addition to Herfried,

If you take the samples from the resource kit they are all based on non
wizard created connections.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/vbasic/vbrkit/default.aspx

And if you have problems installing it

http://msdn.microsoft.com/vbasic/vbr...q/#installvdir
I hope this helps a little bit?
