| Im using MS Visual Web Developer 2010 Express with SQL Server 2008 R2 Express. When attempting to make a connection to server from VWD the server Name is found but the Databases contained cannot be located. Error message is 'A Network related or Instance Specific error occured while establishing connection etc Error - 40 ' .Any help much appreciated. |

| There is some info here which may be helpful. In particular, if you are using SQLExpress, the instance name would be COMPUTERNAME\SqlExpress |
