Hi All,

I'm trying to move the SharePoint databases that are stored in the WID
using SQL Express, I did this before with no hassles, but this time I
can't even connect to the sql instance. It's poping the following
error:

An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server.
When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the
fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote
connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error
Locating Server/Instance Specified) (.Net SqlClient Data Provider)

I've enabled remote connections, and it even returns the same error -
*on the local machine that it's installed on*-. I can't find anything
like this on any forum, please help!

Sonds like you need to check the connection string. It should look
something like:
\\.\pipe\MSSQL$Microsoft##SSEE\.....
