Hello NG,

is there a way to configure the dbExpress driver using mdf-files from SQL Server 2005 Express?

In .NET I use something like:
Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|\myDB.mdf

How will the connection string look like for dbExpress?

best regards
Sebastian May

MS SQL doesn't allow connecting to the database file directly. dbExpress driver doesn't know about database files at all and needs server to be started. To connect to MS SQL Server you should set HostName, DatabaseName, User_Name, Password and some other parameters.
