Need help! I am trying to make a connection to a database in SQL Server Express 2005 from Visual Basic 2005. I am getting an error . . . "Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to a failure in starting the process for the user instance. The connection will be closed".
Or I would like to or create a new SQL Server database from Visual Basic (Database Explorer), but the "Create New SQL Server Database" is faded out. ? ? ?

Can you post the VB.NET code that is attempting to connect to a database?
What authentication method did you specify when installing SQL Server Express, mixed or Windows?
What OS is the install on?

Actually, I am connecting through Visual Basic (Visual Studio Express) not by code I have written. The connection is made through the Database Explorer, so is a new database created. I am using windows authenication and XP Professional. I can create databases with the server, but can connect to it from Visual Basic.
Thanks for any helP!
