I just made a password generator/manager that works great on my computer. what seems to happen when i try to copy the published file to my wife's computer it get the error 52 and fails to connect to the database
so the other computer is trying to connect to the original computer
No, you are using
LocalDB and that don't support remote connections from other machines. You would have to use SQL Express instead and enable remote connection to have a centralize SQL Server; LocalDB is only for single machine / local usage of applications.
then install LocalDB also on that machine, copy the mdf file to the machine name; then you only have to modify in the connection string the "AttachDbFilename" property to point to the mdf file
In your connection string you have AttachDbFileName property. Copy the DB to the other computer and use correct path and file name. I suggest to use a simpler path than the one you're currently using.

can you give some more details, please? Have you a central SQL Server which is accessible from the other machine? How does the connection string look like? Do the other user has permissions to logon to SQL Server? What the exact and complete error message?
well i am trying to make the database unique per computer so that it has it's own,
the connection string for the one on my computer is Data Source=(LocalDB)\v11.0;AttachDbFilename="C:\Users\derek\Documents\Visual Studio 2013\Projects\WindowsApplication3\WindowsApplication3\Database1.mdf";Integrated Security=True
so the other computer is trying to connect to the original computer

ya that is what i want, i want the application to have it's own database that is unique per computer, i am sorry i am very green at the gills with codeing
