Connection Problems

  • Hi

    I'm trying to connect to my SQL 2005 db from a visual studio 2005 application using a connection string. The method I use to connect to an SQL 2000 db works but when I try it with an SQL 2005 database I get the following error from the application:

    Server Error in '/PoliciesProcedures' Application.

  • Just a guess, since I don't have an app ready to test this with, but sounds like the SQL login has "Enforce Password Policy" and "User must change password at next login" enabled.

  • Yes that was the case, I did not know it was the default setting, many thanks:)
