I am unable to connect on my home 2014 SQL express because I do not have a server setup. Is there a way to use my computer as the server?
Thanks!

How do you intend to connect to the SQL Express ?

To be honest, I have no idea. I only want to work on a school project at home. Would you have any idea how I can get this to work?

I only want to take the SQL project home, work on it, save it to my external hard drive and bring it into school.

Thank you. I was able to install it. I have no server to connect to. Any ideas what I can do? Could I use my computer as the server somehow? If so, how?

You can install the SQL Server express on your computer.

And use the SQL Server Management Studio to connects to the SQL Server to access it.
