Hi Bonnie,
Installed vs2003 on a box which had nothing other than XP and SQLserver. Created a very simple web service and it failed with the infamous message:
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Login failed for user 'CETIN\ASPNET'.
Granting ASPNET account it worked.
Cetin

Maybe there was some other setting somewhere, machine.config or something maybe? I still don't know, I didn't see anything obvious elsewhere either.

>>I believe you remember it wrong - at least hope that you do. Otherwise it means a security hole in SQL server. If I can create a test box I'll test it and hopefully will not work.
