The following code is used to add the asp membership tables to an already existing database instead of creating a seperate database for membership and having two databases in the application.
aspnet_regsql.exe -S .SQLEXPRESS -U username -P password -d databsename -A all

It works fine by adding the membership tables to the existing database that is located in the c drive, program files sqlserver folder.

But my database however is not in the c drive but located in my asp website app_data folder, so the above code does not give any error and the tables are not added after I run it.

Please how can I now add the membership tables using the above code when my database is located in the website app_data folder, thanks

Hi there,

There are a few ways to do this:

1. Attach your MDB to SQL Server Express, run the wizard against the attached database and then detach.

2. Provide a connection string to the aspnet_regsql that points to your MDF file.

For both scenarios, Google has a lot more info: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&s...l=&oq=&gs_rfai=

Cheers,
