If you are trying to use SQLserver with InfoCaptor and are using the SQL Studio Express 2005 then you might encounter connection refused error

Please try the following setup before attempting to connect

open the Configuration Manager
Start -> Microsoft SQL Server 2005 -> Configuration Tools -> SQL Server Configuration Manager

2. Then at the left hand tree. Select SQL Server 2005 Network Configuration-> Protocol for SQLEXPRESS-> TCP/IP

3. Right click and enable it.

4. A window box appear on double click the TCP/IP. Click on the “IP Addresses” Tab

5. Set the TCP Port value to 1433 then click apply

Now go back to InfoCaptor connection wizard and enter the connection details

Where “rudrasoft” is the PC name where SQL server is installed. So use the appropriate name for your installation
