The best way to install Microsoft SQL Express is to install from AutoCount Accounting CD.

This is because if you installed SQL Server from AutoCount Accounting CD, we will always install it as A2006 instance name.

This problem is because there are some delay during Get Available Server which makes you cannot find it in the list, if you are sure your server name, you can type your server name and follows by \A2006 to specify the A2006 instance.

This is because you have not created any database in the SQL server.

The most likely reason is the SQL Server is blocked by firewall. The firewall might be Windows XP Service Pack 2 firewall or Windows Vista firewall, or other third-party firewall which comes with anti-virus software or anti-spam software. You should add an exception to the firewall or turn off the firewall in order to make it work.

By default, if you install SQL Express using AutoCount Accounting CD, the setup program will automatically add exceptions to your Windows Firewall, so you don't have to do anything in order to allow other PC to connect to the server. However, if you found it not working, you can run a program called SQLUtility which is available in the AutoCount Accounting CD to help you add exceptions to Windows Firewall.

Please refer to the documentation or online help of the software for how to do it.
