Marvin,

My experience with these types of issues is that the can all too often be a Sql 
Server authentication problem.  You need to make sure that the Sql Server user 
(this would be the Sql Server username that logs into Sql Server for access) 
belongs to a group that has rights to the Database it's trying to connect to, 
otherwise it may act like the daabase itself doesn't exist.  It does, of 
course.  And indeed this can be kind of a pain.  Also, I don't know if this is 
true in Sql Server 2005, but all too often in Sql Server 2000 you could not be 
logged in as Administrator and launch applications hoping to access things in 
Sql Server, regardless of what Sql Server username you were going under.  It 
was deliberately designed to prevent developers from getting into the habit of 
logging on as Administrator -- isn't that annoying?

Hope it works out for you.


Best,

Mike Sahyun
