Going through someone else's code to familiarize myself with the application and I came to this line
[code]
<add name="SubscriptionsConnectionString"
connectionString="Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|\Subscriptions.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True"
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>
[/code]
Now I have tried to connect to that database, with no luck. Also I have found that the application is using that line currently and runs and it works great.  But i can't find the database running on any machine within our network.

The creator of the application no longer works for my company =(.  

Any idea's how I might find the database?

Do you have SQL Server Express Edition (2005 or 2008) installed on the machine on which you're running?

ASP.NET will automatically start it for you, but you need to be running SQL Express.
