Problems connecting to a remote MSSQL server. Please help.?
I have a MSSQL database in remote server which I paid for. I CAN work with my database via web interface, but i can't seem to open my database via SQL management studio. I'm able to connect to the database using SQL Server Authentication, the problem is that i am getting an error when i expand the DATABASES folder.
Failed to retrieve data for this request: The server principal is not able to access the database "some_other_persons_database_name" under the current security context.
Why is it trying to open another person's database? how can i open just mine? How can i retrieve my database? Please help! What can i do?

3 AnswersComputer Networking1 decade agoWhat's the best web development process for a CMS website?
For creating online reservation systems and e-commerce websites i can easily reuse the wire-frame of a previous project, but for a Content Management System projects it seems like i have to start from scratch because i have to base the wireframe from the existing website of the client or from an approved homepage and inner pages design.
Do i just design the backend wireframe and leave it up to the developers to figure how it's going to work in the Front end? Do i design a wireframe for both the BE and FE? Is the wireframe really supposed to be final before it goes to the development? Should you create the wireframe before the design?
What's your take on this? Kindly advice me on how to go about this.
Thanks in advance for your reply.
