I have installed both SQL Server 2005 and Visual Basic Express 2008.

I have only every used Access previously to create databases.

Do I build tables/queries in SQL Server or VB Express? It seems I can do it in both?

I have tried to create a new database in SQL Server and open it from within VB Express and it wont open.

I have also tried to create a new DB in VB Express and it when I click Data Connections/ Add Connection and enter a new db file name i get the message "Generaing user instances in SQL Server is disabled. Use sp_configure 'user instances enabled' to generate user instances."

Sorry but i really need some help here!
