When I try to connect to my SQL Server Express using an ODBC connection (from the ODBC Control Panel in Windows XP SP2 Administrative Tools) clicking on the drop down list of servers times out with no servers listed. I can connect to the SQL server from SQL Management Studio, and it's installed on the same machine, so there is no connectivity problem. Any idea what's going on here? I suspect it's a software compatibility issue, but I don't have a clue what to update. I did make sure that sqlncli.msi was the latest version. -- Jon Webb
