Are you trying to form a connection to the database or just include it in your project?

I don't think you can include it in your project since it needs the SQL server in order to run. What you need to do is just form a connectin the database.

PS. You forgot to include error image.

check out www.connectionstrings.com. Add a SqlConnection object to your code somewhere (something like Dim MyConnection as System.Data.Sql.SqlClient.SqlConnection), then open the connection with the connection string. This allows you to use the connection that you established in DataReaders and DataAdapters. If you want more information, check out msdn2.microsoft.com and do a search for Connections and VB.
