Help connecting to northwind database

[Guest]

I am try this example on vb express 2005:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-US/library/system.windows.forms.datagridviewcomboboxcolumn.aspx
but it keeps giving me an error about the data source to northwind database. I installed the SQL2000SampleDb.msi file, then ran this command at the prompt:
SQLCMD -E -S computerName\SqlExpress -i instnwnd.sql
with my computer name. Can anyone help a noob out here. Many thanks

Hi,

The connection string was not pointed to the sqlexpress. Try this
instead.

Private connectionString As String = _
"Integrated Security=SSPI;Persist Security Info=False;" _
& "Initial Catalog=Northwind;Data Source=.\sqlexpress"
