Hi guys,

As i'm in the process of updating my own site, for ease of downloading since CodePlex is anything but screen reader accessible, I figured why not download mojo Portal on my own computer where i could test a real live example while trying to learn IIS for myself.  But there's one problem though.  Upon creation of the SQl server 2008 Express R2 database, I was presented with the error that *** cannot be used as a value for the password and that it must follow the regular expression (?^(8)($ or something like that.  it was much longer, but unfortunately I was unable to capture the error.  This error happens regardless of what characters I use to make up the password.  What am I doing wrong?  And then when I tell it to use an existing database I somehow managed to create which has no password by default, it tells me that it can't connect.  I'm on Windows 7 by the way.  Any input is gladly appreciated.  Thanks so much in advance.

Thanks.  That really does help.  But you'd think that Microsoft'd throw out some kind of flag about the requirements, wouldn't you?  You know, i really have a lot of respect for them, probably giving them credit for things that they don't deserve, but it seems like ever since the birth of Windows, they'd been skimpy on their documentation.  Will they ever learn?  LOL!

Oh shoot.  I can't believe this now.  I actually installed SQl Server through the installer off of the web site instead of through WPI since WPI doesn't offer the R2 express edition.  I was never asked to create the Super SQL admin.  Or maybe JAWS forgot to read that part to me while I was installing it?  And not to mention, the SQL Server management studio's a little bit flaky with JAWS.  I'll try it at home with MySQL (considering mySQL's a bit more screen reader friendly)just to see if it can successfully do it, or else my dream's very idiodic if my tests fail.  But I'm trying to learn both technologies considering most .net books, including the ones I own teach you how to develop using SQl server.  Thanks for the clarification though.  And just a question.  Since you're an MCSE and MCDBA, I'd think that you have more leverage to talk to Microsoft about certain things than I do right now at least.  I've noticed that it's harder to get a natively accessible application from them anymore, and sorry to get off the topic a bit, but I've even heard that they're dropping support for the mirror drivers that allow screen readers access to what's on the screen which means that JAWS as it is known by the blind community may be no more unless somebody steps up and does something.  Does Microsoft have an accessibility forum or separate site where I can get these things out to them on?  Thanks so much.  I'll certainly let you know if anything else decides to break.
