i am deploying a windows application with a SQL database

Just a thought.

Have you tried pasting the error message into the search box of your favourite search engine? It will involve lots of reading as you will get loads of hits.

Most of them will boil down to a permissions problem.

Thanks for the Answer

yes, we have tryed it all :confused:

This was the best idea and we did try it and still no running program:
You need to grant login permissions to the ASPNET account as well as database permissions

but the database isn't working on the Computer yet. And we still have no idea, evan a tutorial that shows how to do it step by step would be awesome.

Thanks

Thanks for the answer

We can get the database to copy onto the client side, but not with any functionality, so when we install SQL we can attach the database and it will work yes.

But we are trying to get the database to work after the app. has been installed, no external SQL installed

We are using Visual Studio 2008 and sql server management studio 2008 R2

Here is a brief exp. of what we have tried so far :
Using a custom action to create database upon application installation, including a database file with the setup and deployment project.

Thanks
