Steps to re-create
1. Application Database Connections, StrataFrame Data Store is selected, and is valid, Selected
2.  File->New->Project
3. Visual C#->StrataFrame Windows Application
 -- Succeeded
4. StrataFrame->Solution Preferences
 -- No project listed in project drop down, no languages listed, no project listed under security preferences
5. Cancel
6. Save all and rebuild solution
7. StrataFrame->Solution Preferences
 -- No project listed in project drop down, no languages listed, no project listed under security preferences
8. StrataFrame->Business Object Mapper
  -- Odd, the project is listed under available projects here!
9. Highlight project name and select Configure Project under Actions
10. Select New in Choose Project dialog
11. Give project a name, Description, and select the Sql Server connection string (local server, trusted connection, projectname is the db name (the default))
12. Dialog->Save Changes? -- select Yes
First Error-- Broken Rules Exist red arrow highlights the Project Name, "A project already exists with this name"
 -- Now, I created a scratch project using a new name, for sure it did not exist. So I cancel out, and cancel out of the Choose project dialog
 and then close the Business Object Mapper.
 13. Rebuild Project, save all then pull up the Business Object Mapper again, red x next to project name, highlight and select configure project.
 14. Project now available in Choose Project, select it and  hit edit.
 15. Prior information is all there as I added, I then hit the Okay Button. it is at this point I get the unhandled exception error:
 The exception unknown software exception (0xe053534f) occurred in the application at location 0x77e4bee7.
 16. Click Okay, VS crashed out.
 
 I start up VS again, Pull up the Business Object Mapper, Configure Project, Highlight the new project and select "Select", first time I do this it is okay,
 the second time I get the unhandled exception error again?
 
 Does anyone know why or what is happening???

No matter what I do, it keeps trying to use a non-existent odbc connection! I have searched my drive to find where you hide it but I can't.  And before you jump to the obvious,

ConnectionManager.ApplicationKey = "cap";
ConnectionManager.ApplicationDefaultTitle = "cap Connection";
ConnectionManager.ApplicationDefaultDescription = "This application connection is used by cap";
ConnectionManager.AddRequiredDataSourceItem("", "SQL Connection",
DataSourceTypeOptions.SqlServer, "MyDatabase", "This connection is used by cap.");

I have tried to create a vanilla project, after selecting a StrataFrame database connection from the pull down (prior to creating project). Then, I create the project and run it, I am asked for the login information. It loads up all the databases within it and I select the target (cap). Now, I open the business manager and I get the error below!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SqlException
 An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server.  When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)
