Hello,
I'm running Windows 7 Professional x64. I just installed SQL Server 2008 R2 (32-bit) and created an local instance (named "MY-PC-2\SQLEXPRESS"), and then created a new database.
In SQL Server Configuration Manager, I verify that the SQLEXPRESS service is running.
Inside Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio, I'm able to manipulate the database in "MY-PC-2\SQLEXPRESS" -- I can execute queries, add/drop tables, etc.
Then, I created a new .udl file and selected "SQL Server Native Client 10.0" in the Provider tab. However, in the Connection tab, my drop-down list of server names is blank.
When I run "sqlcmd -L" in the command prompt, it returns an empty list.
What could the issue be?
Thanks in advance.
