hi Martin,

Does anyone know if it is possible to use the smo db.Create() method to

That is correct, you have to enable it first using the Surface tool.

Thanks Stefan

I've tried the surface area configuration tool, but the database engine
settings pages states sql server express version can only be run in local
mode. Is there another surface tool I'm not aware of?

I'm only trying to use smo with my databases on my local c disk, so I'm
not sure why smo needs remote connectivity to do this?

Martin


It considers anything outside the database to be a remote connection.

When you run the Surface Area Configuration, and you go into Services and
Connections, and click on your database, does it show a line for "Remote
Connections" ? Set it to accept local and remote connections.

Robin S.


Thank you Robin

Yes it does show a 'remote connections' line but enabling this option didn't
work. I'll try re-installing the express version and selecting the 'mixed
mode' option to see if that helps.

Cheers, Martin
