Open intial catalog?

I have a connection string that has the clause "initial catalog=XXXXXX" in
it. When I use SqlConnection.Open I get an exception that XXXXXX cannot be
opened and the login failed. Any ideas?
Thank you.
KeivnThis is the exact error message:
Cannot open database \"XXXXXXX\" requested by the login. The login
failed.\r\nLogin failed for user 'developer'

you checked that?
