Howdy, Flavelle,

Looks like your StrataFrame design-time data source (connection string) has been changed to something else. 

You can change the connection string through the "Database Connection" option under the StrataFrame menu within Visual Studio.  Changing the database connection within this option does not change the database connection for your application, but for the SF design-time components.

Ben:

Must be my confusion. I gather that I am dealing with two connections - a StrataFrame connection and a connection that my application requires to access the 'real' data.

Over time, I will get there, but clearly some patience is required.

Thanks,

Flavelle

No, your application only has one connection.  Rather, there is a design-time connection that is used by the Visual Studio AddIn (BOMapper), the DDT, and the Messaging Editor to communicate with the StrataFrame database.  The StrataFrame database is where the StrataFrame stores all of the design-time information (meta-data, BOMapper config, messages & localization values, etc).  To change the design-time connection, you go through the Database Connection option under the StrataFrame menu in Visual Studio.  To change your program's connection (runtime), you change it within the SetDataSources() method in the AppMain.vb or Program.cs file.
