Remote connecton

I made a 1 form app(to learn with) in VB Express. I published it, installed it on my pc and everything is fine(I used a db from my main app I'm building which was made in VBE(but I didnt install the db in my project, I only connected to it) anyhow

With my 1 form application, I can add,edit the records in the db, no problem there but

when I took it to another pc and installed it, it installed fine, but when you launch the app I got an exception stating

That it cannot find a SQL connection etc...

I do have remote connections checked in SQL.

Is there something that you have to do to a remote pc to make it visible?

We have a simple peer to peer network.

I have an existing app(Access) that I use mapped drives to share the data, I did open the folder for those mdb's and they were there which eliminates connectivity problems from pc to pc.

What did I do!!

Learned from a remote pc that .\SQLServer doesnt work

Try the name of the pc and \SQLServer

That is corect. When you use the .\SQLExpress the . notion is a short form for the local machine.

BTW Thanks for posting the answer.
