    Resolved [RESOLVED] [2008] How to delete Data Connection entries



    In the Data Source Configuration wizard, I have several data connections entries which are no longer valid. For example, the above screenshot shows AddressBook.mdf database which is no longer valid as I have manually deleted the mdf file from windows explorer.

    But the AddressBook.mdf entry still shows in Data Source Configuration wizard. How do I delete these data connection entries showing up in the wizard?

    p.s. I am using VB 2008.

    I'm not 100% sure but I believe that you would need to delete the corresponding entry from the Server Explorer or Database Explorer, depending on your edition.

    Yes, you are right. I can delete the Data Connection entries from Database Explorer. That will get rid of the AddressBook.mdf entry which no longer exists. Thanks.
