Ok, gave it a go,

osql.exe returns:
Error: No User selected. Try with -U or -E switches.

So I try -U myusername(I have administrator privileges) ... asks for
password ...
responds with:
SQL Server does not exist or access denied.

So I try -E ... doesn't ask for a username this time ...
responds with the same message:
SQL Server does not exist or access denied.

I've had a look at all users and groups on my laptop, and I can't find a
specific SQL user or anything like that (there is an SQLDebugger account
for use with VS.NET, but I don't know what password or whatever that it
might be setup with)

I'm no guru on this stuff ... any and all help would be appreciated.
What am I doing wrong.

Regards,

Luke.
