No connection to local SQL Server when no network connection

The soluition is to use named pipes to connect as
Enterprise manager will if IP: 127.0.0.1 cannot connect.
Change your connection string to :
'Provider=SQLOLEDB.1; Password="";Persist Security
Info=True;User
ID=Bis;Initial Catalog=BIS;Data Source=(local)'
This should fix the problem.

It worked.
Thanks a lot !

Newbie:Why this Select doesn't work ?

On ASP.NET 2.0, VB, I try to let user input data on TxtBox1.Text. Then I
would like to go to SQL database named PUBS and compare the "TxtBox1.Text"
against the table "job_id". If the results match, I return on the screen
"Information matched. Your password will be reset".
First, how can I establish the connection to the "pubs" and retrieve such
information ? The code below return error "job_id" not declared. Do I really
have to declare the "job_id" or something else I did is not working ?
rtial Class Default_aspx
Sub btnDefault_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs)
Dim sConnect As String = ConfigurationSettings.ConnectionStrings_
("pubs").ConnectionString
Dim sSQL As String = "SELECT Employee, " _
& "WHERE job_id = TxtBox1.Text"
End Sub
End Class> Dim sSQL As String = "SELECT Employee, " _
> & "WHERE job_id = TxtBox1.Text"
Your query string should be "Select * from Employee where job_id = '" &
TxtBox1.Text & "'"

Dim sSQL As String = "SELECT Employee From Pubs " _
& "WHERE job_id = " & TxtBox1.Text
