End Google Ads 201810 - BS.net 01 --> I couldn't connect to a named instance of SQL 2005 the last few days from VS2005. I tried everything but failed ("Instance Failure"). Today, I simply changed the Data Provider from SQL Server to OLE DB and it worked.

Any idea how I can fix this problem. I have many applications which are using SQL Server as the provider and changing them is not an option--at least if there is another option.
