CanyouconnectsuccessfullylocallywithEnterpriseManagerExpressorintheODBCconnection(controlpanel
>admintools>DataSources)withthatusername/password?
ItsoundslikeaDBpermissionconfigurationproblemmorethananythingelse.InSQLServeryoushouldhavea
usersetupwiththatpassword,permissioncomingfromthatIPaddress(localhost/127.0.0.1),andpermissiontothe
database(s)you'reusing.
AnotherthinktoconsideraboutSQLServerExpressisthatitusesthishoaky"namedpipes"connectioninsteadofthe
standardTCPconnectionsthatthefullblownversionuses.Youshouldbegoodonthesoftwaresidesinceitsoundslike
thattutorialisdesigned/writtenforExpressEdition.
