Hi, I have a Vista machine running SQLExpress. I want my WinXP machine to connect to the SqlExpress DB but I keep getting a &quot;Sql Server does not exist or access denied&quot; error msg. <br />
<br />
I've double checked the user/password so I know it's correct. Can anyone offer a suggestion?<br />
<br />
Thanks!<br />
