My first post in SQL server.
I downloaded SQL server 2008 Express x86 and at the moment I want to try and learn on my PC only and my aim is to connect some of Access database to use as fron end and back end I want to make SQL server.
Now when I connect, I use the server name as local in connect database engine window and observe below message.
Can somebody please direct me in correct direction. I understand it might be just a basic question but I am new to this currently appropriate resources I could not catch. Also, what is the best way to get its online help.
