I did the autoinstall of dotnetnuke version 5.1.0 with SQL Server 2005 Express.  My problem is I'm trying to find the database that was created.  The SQL server is running on the same machine as everything else.  My problem is when I open the Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express and look for the database that was created durring install I don't see one.  My install of dotnetnuke is working correctly so I know there is one I just can't seem to find it.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

please check your connection string in your web.config, I'm guessing you're using the sql express one that uses the AttachDbFilename parameter, in which case the database is in app_data and is called database.mdf.To view it in SSMS you need to attach it -see http://forums.asp.net/t/1369611.aspx for notes on this

I actually found it shortly after making the post, after looking for ever, but I couldn't do anything with my earlier post yet because it hadn't been published.  the mdf file was in my dotnetnuke/App_Data folder.
