    Re: Cant open my database diagram

    seems pretty claer to me... it even gave you the steps to resolve it. Sounds like there's a db owner issue here.

    Didn't you perform these steps when you set it up the first time?

    Is the database on your machine, or on an actual server? Have a DBA or someone who knows how to manage SQL Server? You need to turn on a settign to allow remote connections.... Umm.... I think if you look through the DB FAQ here, there's an article, or at least a link to one, on how to do that.

    Re: Cant open my database diagram

    I found this site which looks like it can solve my problem:

    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/914277

    However when I set the TCP/IP in the last step it stops me from finalizing and I get this error. Anyone has an idea how to proceed please?
