I am familiar with Linux servers and using Perl etc. I am familiar with VB - was VB 6 now VB2005 - using VS2005 I am not familiar with using VB for web based applications which I would like to do.

• SQL Server Obscure error while attempting to install SQL Server 2005 SP1

• SQL Server SQL Express Failed Login & Service Restart

  Every so often I get an error when I pull up an ASP.NET 2.0 site using SQL Express. It tells me that the login failed. If I go into the server's administrative tools > services and restart SQL Express and then refresh the site, it works just fine. Is this some sort of bug or memory issue Does the application need to connect every so often or end up falling out somewhere Thanks The message is coming straight from the server. How do I determine what is going on from there My connection string looks something like this - connectionString="Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=ClientDB;Integrated Security=False;Connect Timeout=30;User ID=SQL_User;Password=*****;" ...Show All
