Hello,

I have been trying for the past 2 hours to connect CFMX 8 to SQL Server 2005 Express on my windows7 laptop and it is throwing all kinds of errors.

"Connection verification failed for data source: sqlHPV
java.sql.SQLException: [Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC Driver]Error establishing socket. Unknown host: SQLExpress
The root cause was that: java.sql.SQLException: [Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC Driver]Error establishing socket. Unknown host: SQLExpress"

Please I need help.

    Try using an IP address instead of SQLExpress for the host name. If it is on the same box, use 127.0.0.1 and make sure SQLExpress in configured for IP communication.
