Anyone got these 2 talking? CF 8.01 and SQL Server 2008 Express I followed the steps that I use to get SQL Express 2005 but to no result. Sorry I meant to post in ColdFusion. Can a mod delete this post.
I have just in the past week done this. Here are my steps: Run the: SQL Server Configuration Manager Expand SQL Server Network Configuration. Enable TCP/IP Right click TCP/IP, click Properties, select 'Ip Address's' tab Expand the "IPALL" section. The TCP Port is blank, change it to 1433. Apply and restart the SQL Services and it will work.
