How to Share SQL Database

Question

I am having one application built in C# winforms. In the backend I am using SQLSERVER 2008 Express. The application is used remotely through thin clients.

My problem is that when one user is using my software and a 2nd user tries to open the software and tries to make any operation on the database, the database refuses to connect. Only when the first user closes the application, the second user can operate the database queries.

How are you connecting?
What queries are you running? Do you release connections?

Solution 2

You need to set SQL Express to allow remote connections

also check to make sure that the database is not in single user mode.
