Bill,
I tried the following per Microsoft:
1. Start >> All Programs >> Microsoft SQL Server 2005 >> Configuration Tools
2. Open Sql Server 2005 Network Configuration >> Protocols for SQL2005
3. By default, only Shared Memory is turned on. You will likely need named
pipes for a local server and TCP/IP for remote
4. If you are accessing remotely, you need to turn on SQL Server Browser, as
well (under SQL Server 2005 Services)
5. Restart SQL Server 2005
.....while I am able to connect, I recieve an error as soon as I attempt a
SELECT
