Hi,
1.
The server in the connectionstring is probably one of the following:
"(local)"
"(local)\DBMSDE" - That's your instancename
"(the name of your machine)\(instancename)"
2. Don't bother with the services now,you don't need them.
3. and 4.
Go to
http://www.microsoft.com/sql/msde/default.asp and download their
"sql web data administrator"
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en.
If you have problems with running it, then go to their forum
http://www.sqljunkies.com/forums/.
They describe all the solutions.
With that tool, you can do all the administration, you wish, and it it is difficult otherwise.
Kind regards
Finn
