Thanks Imar! The solution given in your reference worked perfectly.

Yes Imar,

You were right. I deleted the old aspnetdb which comes with code ( source code dowload ) and created a new one as per your instructions. I also created a new admin and everything worked perfectly.

Great. I submitted these changes (and others) to Wrox so they can be added to the errata section, hopefully pretty soon, so everyone can easily access them.

Cheers,

Imar
