I have a local install of DNN that works fine.  I was planning to do a database backup and just transfer everythign to my online host.  But when I look in my "Tables" dropdown under the name of my database in MS SQL Server managment server express, it is empty...Any ideas why its empty, yet the site works fine?  Thanks!

1) Right click on the database and select and refresh in SSMS (Sql Server Management Studio).

2) Are you certain the server/database is the exact same as your dnn web.config connection strings?

This is what I have for those strings...I would think if this was incorrect, the site wouldn't work at all...IPMA is listed as a database in studio express, but the tables folder is empty...

 

<!-- Connection String for SQL Server 2005 Express -->
    <add name="SiteSqlServer" connectionString="Data Source=.\SQLExpress;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True;AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|Database.mdf;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
    <!-- Connection String for SQL Server 2000/2005
    <add
      name="SiteSqlServer"
      connectionString="Server=MIKE\SQLEXPRESS;Database=IPMA;uid=IPMA;pwd=password;"
      providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
   -->
  </connectionStrings>
  <appSettings>
    <!-- Connection String for SQL Server 2005 Express - kept for backwards compatability - legacy modules   -->
    <add key="SiteSqlServer" value="Data Source=.\SQLExpress;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True;AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|Database.mdf;" />
