Thanks for the response. The info in the first link worked great in real world, but not in VMWare. Not sure why but don't care. &nbsp;Actaully am going the route of adding &quot;server= localhost&quot; to the connection string feel that it is safer and I don't have to worry about our support staff going into the registry when it is unnessecary.<br />

Again thanks for the great answer(s).<br />

Jeepstyx22,

Thanks for the response. The info in the first link worked great in real world, but not in VMWare. Not sure why but don't care.  Actaully am going the route of adding "server= localhost" to the connection string feel that it is safer and I don't have to worry about our support staff going into the registry when it is unnessecary.

Again thanks for the great answer(s).

I have a VB6 application that has MSDE as its current backend. In testing moving to SLSQLExpress I've noticed, since this application is run on laptops, that if I disconnect a connected network cable while I'm in the VB6 app I lose &quot;connection&quot; to the local database. If I end task on the app and restart it it works fine. If I reconnect the network cable while the app is running and then disconnect it the app runs fine. Also this happens when I'm connected to a wireless network and then disconnect and disable that connection. <br />
<br />
In my template.ini file I have DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS=0.<wbr /> Is there a setting I'm missing? I can't seem to find anything else to set in the ini file. <br />

SQLExpresss losing connection to VB6 application

Microsoft SQL Server 2005 is a suite of relational database management system (RDBMS) products providing multi-user database access functionality.Component services include integration (SSIS), reporting (SSRS), analysis (SSAS), data quality, master data, T-SQL and performance tuning. It includes support for managing XML data and allows a database server to be exposed over web services using Tabular Data Stream (TDS) packets encapsulated within SOAP (protocol) requests.

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
