Thank you very much for your help. I thought I needed to use Trused_Connection=True but I don't know where to put it.

Let me explain. I am reading/studying a book where there is an example of building a DB Connection String from an XML file or using SqlConnectionStringBuilder. But their sample .XML does not have an element for the value "Trusted_Connection=True"; no does it have a place to put it when using SqlConnectionStingBuilder.

E.g. The SqlConnectionStringBuilder has the following elements:
UserID
Password
InitialCatalog
DataSource
and a couple of other unrelated but nothing for "Trusted_Connection=True"

I know this is a newbie stuff and I should know it <g>.
