From: Scott M. on 23 Feb 2010 18:31 Telling us that "the damn thing does not work" isn't specific enough for us to be able to help you. What are your system specs? What are you trying to do and how did you try to do it? What (if any) errors are you receiving? What did you do to try to resolve the issue(s)? -Scott "Martin Racette" <rat7_2001(a)hotmail.com> wrote in message news:AF58AA07-BEA1-4A73-86FA-963544AF5845(a)microsoft.com... > Hi, > > I just re-installed VB Express 2008, in the hope that it will finally be > working properly with Vista 64 and SQL Express2008. > > But now the only thing that work is the main interface, but I can not to > anything with it since the damn thing does not work with SQL Express 2008 > , and it does not let me do a thing > > What can I do to fix this > > BTW I downloaded the installation ISO file from MS a few days ago > > -- > Thank You in Advance > Merci a l'avance > > Martin

From: Martin Racette on 25 Feb 2010 08:39 System Spec : Vista 64 I am trying to make SQL Express 2008 and VB Express 2008 work together again, ever since Windows Update tried to install SP1 for the SQL, nothing works, I had to un-install SQL and then re-install the whole thing all over again, now SQL Express 2008 does start, but none of the VB Express 2008 can connect to the server The error that I recieved is that it can not connect to SQL I re-installed VB Express 2008, and it still does not work, it even refuse to open any project, or to create any new one because there is no SQL connection "Scott M." <s-mar(a)nospam.nospam> wrote in message news:ecwvxAOtKHA.3660(a)TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... > Telling us that "the damn thing does not work" isn't specific enough for > us to be able to help you. > > What are your system specs? > What are you trying to do and how did you try to do it? > What (if any) errors are you receiving? > What did you do to try to resolve the issue(s)? > > -Scott > > > "Martin Racette" <rat7_2001(a)hotmail.com> wrote in message > news:AF58AA07-BEA1-4A73-86FA-963544AF5845(a)microsoft.com... >> Hi, >> >> I just re-installed VB Express 2008, in the hope that it will finally be >> working properly with Vista 64 and SQL Express2008. >> >> But now the only thing that work is the main interface, but I can not to >> anything with it since the damn thing does not work with SQL Express 2008 >> , and it does not let me do a thing >> >> What can I do to fix this >> >> BTW I downloaded the installation ISO file from MS a few days ago >> >> -- >> Thank You in Advance >> Merci a l'avance >> >> Martin > > -- Thank You in Advance Merci a l'avance Martin
