    So I installed everything but I keep getting the error message "Could not connect to database using 'DSN=ApodoraDSN;uid=ApodoraUser;pwd=d3fault'.

    I have tried re-installing the database portion and a cmd window flashes which says:
    "SQLCMD.exe" …Cannot open database "ApodoraDB" requested by the login. The login failed.

    Is there any way I can delete the database and try to reinstall everything?  I think the database exists but Apodora is unable to login and the reinstall isnt fixing things.

    Thanks

    Ahh.. I figured it out.  I deleted the database in the SQL Server MSSQL directory then reinstalled.  Looks like everything installed correctly.

    Thanks

    I had similar problem with access to database:
    I was fighting with servie configuration and firewall.
    But I did a thing which I think solved the problem.
    1. control Panel\Administrative Tools\Data Sources(ODBC)
    2 User Data Sources Tab \ add
    3 Select SQL server
    4. any name any description server (point your local server - i used 127.0.0.1\SQLEXPRESS
    5. in next window (DNS service configuration) select

            * With SQL Server authentication using Loginid and password entered by the user

    mark/thick ON checkbox with :Connect SQL server to obtain default settings for the additional configuration options

    LoginID: ApodoraUser
    password (i left that empty  - but could be a password:  d3fault"

    click next and finish that wizard.. and everything strat to work.

    PS it may be a good idea to ACCEPT (UNBLOCK) incoming traffic on port 1941 (TCP should be enough)
