Thanks for the quick response, the program was built using VS Professional 2015, The database has been added to the project and when checking the files its obviously there.We have pinged the server on the client side and it is there. I have used sql server 12.0.2000. we have also made changes to the firewall and added new rule to allow connection as well as enabling Pipes and TCP/IP.Can not go any further that way as we seem to have used everything available to make the connection viable. connectionString="Data Source=DWAYNES\SQLEXPRESS14;Initial Catalog=********Agri;Integrated Security=True;Encrypt=False;TrustServerCertificate=True"
Should I not be able to change the computer name (DWAYNES) to the Clients Machine Name to make it work. What I had originally was H:/AGRI/PLOTS\SQLEXPRESS14;Initial Catalog=********Agri;Integrated Security=True;Encrypt=False;TrustServerCertificate=True"

ok thanks, will try it and see, had MSsql2008r2 downloaded onto clients machine as had read somewhere that this was needed in order to configure properly with windows 7.

sorry bout that, it sql server 2012 express locally on my machine as v11.0 whic refers to version number 11.0.3000

ms sql server v11.0
