You give it a name, and select SQL server.</P><P>The system we are testing with is using sql express on (local)\sqlexpress and the database name is TRAC.</P><P>Do you have to enter a connection string and if so what is the format?Mon, 28 Nov 2005 11:38:15 GMTJohn Frankewiczhttp://forum.strataframe.net/FindPost162.aspxNope, it saves the connection string information on a per-project basis. But, yes, it would be a good idea to carry forward the last entered connection string. I'll look into that.Mon, 28 Nov 2005 11:38:15 GMTStrataFrame Teamhttp://forum.strataframe.net/FindPost160.aspxI guess it doesn't use the previous connection string information you entered?Mon, 28 Nov 2005 11:32:10 GMTJohn Frankewiczhttp://forum.strataframe.net/FindPost157.aspxThe connection string is that which is required to connect to the server... not necessarily the database.<br> <br> So, your connection string would be something like "Server=localhost\sqlexpress;Integrated Security=SSPI;" if you're using Windows authentication or "Server=localhost\sqlexpress;User Id=sa;Password=MyPassword;" if you're using username authentication.<br> <br> The connection string is required so that the Business Object Mapper can gather the schema information from the server.Mon, 28 Nov 2005 11:30:50 GMTStrataFrame Team
