Hi all,

I am developing an application which to use different local computers. There is a computer has a mssql 2005 express and my database on it, I want to use it all local computer (5 computers), connection string like that :

"Data Source=DARKOCEAN\\SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=TestDB;Integrated Security=True"

How can I use this database on different local computer?
I think, it will be like remote database but I dont know.

That is the correct String format.

Now you just need to add .Net 2.0 on all the machines and make sure that Outgoing connection are enabled in MS SQL.

One more this would be make sure the 5 computers can see DARKOCEAN.
