   Hello!   
      
   I do the following.   
   1.Right click on Data Connection in Server Explorer and choose Add   
   connection   
   2. In the Data Source I select Microsoft SQL Server (SqlClient)   
   3.In server name I enter localhost   
   4. I select Use Window Authentication   
   5. I click on Test Connection and the result is Test connection succeeded   
      
   Now to my question I really don't understand how this is possible to test a   
   connection   
   without specifying any database ?   
   Can somebody explain that.
