Hi there, I am new to SQL Server and I would love to seek help from experienced people.
I just simply want to use Data Mining Add-in for Excel 2010 with SQL Server 2008 R2 Express, but connection wizard has been failing, I have spent few full days to fix by myself but nothing worked.
Here is the error message :
Unable to connect to server 'NAOSTONES-PC\SQLEXPRESS'. Please make sure user 'NaoStones-PC\Nao Stones' has at least read permission to some database on the server.
So far I tried everything I could figure it out. Please help me out, what I am doing wrong? :((
