Darrell,

I didn't see this in the web.config file. In fact, I didn't see any of this, not even the providers section. Where does this go in relation to the other sections of the web.config file? In fact, there is a web.config in the root folder of the project and another in the MemberPages sub-folder. The latter has very little in it, just specifying the

<deny users="?">.

I suppose I should read up on the formatting and sections for these files. I thought the IDE just wrote values to them when you made your selections in the various tools. Strange that the aspnet_regsql would create tables in my SQL Server database, but not put the config info into the native web.config file. I would expect it to be the other way around.

Thanks for your help. I've been programming for almost two decades. Some of this .NET stuff is just not very intuitive, surprisingly. Plus, I'm trying to dive right into this so I can get something up and running soon, before I have to get another job. :)

I will look into the help on the web.config file, but any more help you can give me would be appreciated.

Dana
