Sometimes the connection to the database can fail. You will normally see a message similar to below if this happens.

To fix this problem:

Go to start and in your search type in cmd. The command prompt should open (Below)

Type:

Sqllocaldb info

It will display a label on the next line (Highlighted yellow below) and a version after that. It may display the same name on your computer or a different one.

Sometimes there is more than one Server Name provided and you will have to follow the steps below for each one:

In the cmd prompt, type:

Sqllocaldb stop “Whatever the label is from above”

Now type:

Sqllocaldb delete “Whatever the label is from above again”

This should clear your server and hopefully allow you to open the software.

Contact PJ Data if this doesn’t work.
