Connectionstrings.com[^] is always a good place to start

Attach a database file, located in the data directory, on connect to a local SQL Server Express instance
Server=.\SQLExpress;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|mydbfile.mdf; Database=dbname;Trusted_Connection=Yes;

Why is the Database parameter needed? If the named database have already been attached, SQL Server does not reattach it. It uses the attached database as the default for the connection.

is something that I would have a look at but I'm not sure if it will work if the database server is on a remote machine
