Finding information abour connecting to SQLEXPRESS on remote webserver

Hello,
I have a MS Windows 2003 server with SQLEXPRESS 2005 running on it. I can
work with the SQL management studio on that machine in my database but not
with a remote desktop. On that server there's also a website www.abc.com
Where can I find enough info to make a connection from within this website
(an ASP.NET *.aspx) to my xyz.mdf database on that server in SQLEXPRESS. I'm
trying for several weeks now and I can't get this thing running.
Thanks for any help on this !
Benny
I am not sure i grasped the issue correctly but have a look at these Express
related articles, especially the remote access ones.

Find/Replace Not Working in Management Console

I have the 2005 Standard Edition of Sql Server, and the managment console tonight stopped responding to quick find/replace requests either via menu or (ctrl+f, ctrl+h).

The UI bars above just grey out a bit and nothing happens. I saw a MSFT dev for VB (visual studio) respond with a fix that was to run "devenv.exe /resetsettings" that restored the defaults and fixed the problem for those affected.

Anyone know how to do that for management studio, since going to customize (restore) each of the individual bars didn't do it.

Thanks in advance,

Greg

Greg,

Please make sure that Find & Replace window is not docked (and possibly hidden) somewhere along the edges of Management Studio. It sometimes happens that a tool window gets docked and then slides to a hidden position so only it's caption bar is visible.

Regards,

Maciek,

Thanks for the reply. I read this and said 'bah, no way'....

Well, there it was, the caption hiding like 1 pixel above the status bar...exposed if i made it temporarily auto-hide.

Thanks for this, again. One comment, though. I could select the window with ctrl+H...a nice way out of this would be an addition in the window menu bar to force it as floating center screen to get ahold of it again.

Greg,

Glad I could help. We've seen this happening to number of people for some reason. I guess you are right - there should be an easy way to find that window. I'll open a suggestion for that.

Regards,

|||Did an easy way ever get implemented? I have the same problem and I can't find the tool window after moving everything around. I've noticed that the main menu changes when I attempt ctrl-F, the 'Query' between 'View' and 'Project' disappears.|||

I am not sure if a shortcut to center the windows was ever added. However, while the problem keeps happening to me I've become much more adept at finding that edge of the window hiding at a corner.

Drop the status bar, peer at the edges of the screen, and I find it every time...just drag it back to the middle.

I found it thanks to your hint though not quite in the way you describe. In fact I found a way of making the Find dialogue pop up centered. What I did was go to the "Task bar and Start Menu" properties window (right click on start menu). Then uncheck "autohide the task bar" and popup appeared in all its glory. Amazing. I had uninstalled and reinstalled and the problem persisted - cost hours! One thing it taught me though was how important find/replace functionality is to my development practice. I turn old code into new code using it.

manay thanks

i had the same porblem

and i found the pop up under the task bar

many many thanks

'Find & Replace' functionality vanished in Management Studio

Hi,

Whenever I select a sub-menu option from the 'Find & Replace' menu item on the 'Edit' menu I get - nothing. Not the functionality, nor any error box. Was working perfectly earlier.

Any ideas?

Just a thought...

Find & Replace is a dockable tool window. Please scan the windows that you have docked around inside your main SSMS window, maybe it is hidden somewhere there, underneath another window or docked but not slide-out.

Regards,

|||Thanks. That was the exact problem. The dialog box was tucked behind the Taskbar.
