Hi
I have a hard time connecting VB.NET 2003 Standard Edition to SQL Server 2000. When I clicked OK from Data Link Properties, it said:
"Unable to connect to database. It is only possible to connect to SQL Server Desktop Engine databases and Microsoft Access databases with this version of Visual Studio."
It works with Access to VB .NET 2003 but I want to connect the SQL Server 2000 using VB . NET 2003.
Does anyone has a problem with this? Does anyone know how to connect VB. NET 2003 with SQL Server 2000?
I have tried to download the SQL Server 2005 Express Edition on my machine (Windows 2000 Professional) but it does not work due to .NET Framework 1.1 on my machine. I tried to download the .NET Framework 2.0 from windows updates on my machine but it is unsuccesful installing for some reason.
I would appreciate your help. Thanks. Gena
