Hi,<br />
<br />
I have installed MS SQL Server 2008 express and have a &nbsp;SQLExpress database set up on my computer. I would like other users connect to that database. I tested the connection to the database but the other workstation reports that it is unable to connect<br />
<br />
1. Do I need to install SQL Server 2008 express on their machines too?<br />
2. How can I add their windows login as users?<br />
3. How can I allow them to connect to the database on my computer? Do I need to share the database folder in windows?<br />
<br />
Thanks.

I have installed MS SQL Server 2008 express and have a  SQLExpress database set up on my computer. I would like other users connect to that database. I tested the connection to the database but the other workstation reports that it is unable to connect

1. Do I need to install SQL Server 2008 express on their machines too?
2. How can I add their windows login as users?
3. How can I allow them to connect to the database on my computer? Do I need to share the database folder in windows?

Thanks.
