Ok, Cetin .... and how did you grant the rights to the ASPNET account? Add a login to SQL Server with Enterprise Manager? I DID NOT HAVE a login to SQL Server for ASPNET prior to running into this problem with 2.0. I am 100% sure of that. I am also pretty sure that I didn't use impersonation (there's nothing in the web.config).

Maybe something in the machine.config? I'll have to look into that, because I can't remember what kind of stuff gets put into the machine.config (it's been so long since I had to do any configuration stuff <g>).

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.
