Trouble Connecting to a Database

Posted By: Posted Date: September 06, 2010 Points: 0 Category :Sql Server

I downloaded a sample DB from here: http://msftdbprodsamples.codeplex.com/releases/view/4004 Specifically, this is the ‘ AdventureWorksLT.msi ’ So, I loaded it into my SSMSE, right-click Databases > Attach > Database > Attach > etc., etc. Now, in C# (Express) I goto Add new Datasource > Database > Next > New Connection > Browse . . . navigate to the folder that holds the AdventureWorksLT.mdf Select it and click Open and then I get this message: AdventureWorksLT_Data You don’t have permission to open this file Contact the file owner or an administrator to obtain permission. I don’t think I’ve ever seen this message before, and I am the administrator. What am I doing wrong here? Also, what so I need to do to get this working? Thanks! Ryan---

Problems Connecting Excel Services to Oracle Database

I am just beginning to experiment with using Excel Services with BI Dashboards in SharePoint 2010. I created a Excel Workbook that has a data connection using connection type of OLE DB Query with a connection string of "Provider=MSDAORA.1;User ID=<username>;Data Source=<oracleEnvironment>". I have the Excel Services Authentication Settings set up for a specific SSS ID <mySSSID>.

This Excel Workbook has been Saved to SharePoint with an entire sheet published. The Excel Web App is displaying the sheet and the Slicers are functioning just like they do in the Excel client. When I refresh the data on the client I get prompted for a password and it works fine. When I refresh on the Web App I have received a variety of errors depending on what I try but nothing has helped me track down what I have missed.

Trouble connecting to MSDE from workstations

I have an app I created that uses MSDE. I have a couple of customers running it and there is no need at this time to move away from MSDE.

A new customer I'm working with has 3 machines we've installed things on. I installed an instance of MSDE on an XP machine. It's running fine and my app can connect without any problems.

We just tried to connect from a Windows 7 box and couldn't. Can't ODBC from it either. So I thought maybe this was a Windows 7 issue but I have an XP box and a 7 box for development where I can connect just fine to my SQL 2000 db's from my 7 box no problem. Didn't have to do anything unusual to do that either.

So I had him fire up an XP machine so I could try from there. That didn't work either. Just for the heck of it I decided to check the workgroup names on each computer. They are all different. They network together just fine though. They can all see each other. The sql data folder is even shared and can be accessed from each machine but I don't remember ever having to do that.

I've verified the tcp/ip port # as well via server config and client config. They match. I don't use 1433. The sql server was restarted after the change so that's not the issue.

I'm wondering if it's got something to do with the workgroups being different but that doesn't seem right either.

Any help would be appreciated.
