Hi,
I set up the trial and have been playing with it, but now I'm trying to
connect to our external database to see what I can do with that. I can't get
it set up at all. I have an alias set up in Enterprise Manager, but VS.Net
doesn't see that Alias. Also, when I just try to add the server in the
"Server Explorer" by using the IP number (IP_xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx format) it tells
me that connections to external domains are not supported. Is this ONLY in
the trial version? Is it supported in the full version? Is this why I can't
get connected, no matter what I do, to our external database? Thanks.

I think I had similar problems when I tried to connect to external databases
in the Standard version. Maybe there are similar limitation in the trial
version as well. I have Vs.NET Professional now and I have no problem
connectiong to db servers.
