Total newbie first site problems please help

based on the error message, your application is trying to connect to a database located on the server where the application reside.

It will work on your computer because your computer probably has a SQL server installed.

For this to work on our server, you'll need to move the data to our SQL server and update your connection string accordingly.

hi all,

I am totally new to this so forgive my question if the answer is simple /emoticons/confused.gif

I have just created my first e-commerce site in ASP.NET using Visual Studio.NET 2003, everything works fine on my local machine, however when i came to upload to the web host i get this error:

Specified SQL server not found: Server=(local)\NetSDK

i have included the stack trace at the base of this post.

I have used an MSDE database for the application. As i say i am a total newbie so any help is much appreciated.

Many Thanks for any help.
