| Is it possible to connect to a SQL Express database on a local install of DNN? I'm using VWD to develop the module and trouble shoot, but don't know if it's possible or what to enter for server, username, and password since the username and password are blank in the web.config file for the database connection string. Can this be done? Or can I install SQL Server 2005 on my local computer? The live databases are on a shared web host that does not allow remote connection to the sql 2005 database. |

I assume you're talking about, the connection manager.
I don't think I've ever tried connecting to a Sql Express database from within Module Builder. I will check with a developer and find out for you. |

I have repeatly tried to conect Module Builder 4.5.12 to SQL 2005/ 2005 Express & it jus will not connect. It tell me
"Unable to connect to server as specified! Use the connection manager to check your spelling."
As I Copy/Paste the information in I doubt that my spelling is the issue. Will someone please advise as to what else might be the problem??? |

Hi,
I have just subscribed to the module and it looks like a pretty fab tool. However, I would love to be able to test my modules locally before going live with them. So, please, if anyone has successfully connected to SQL Express . . . . I'm all ears!
Thanks! |

Sorry, connections with Sql Express are not currently available in Module Builder. It is a planned feature, but no time frame is available yet.
Connection to a Sql server is not a requirement for module building. It is only used in importing fields from existing tables to build new tables. |
