The main problem is that I can't get the app to run past the login screen. I know it should be simple but for some reason I am missing the problem

I keep getting this


Server Error in '/FileShare' Application.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)

So I think I may have fixed the problem partially thanks to #2 in this article. http://www.aquesthosting.com/HowTo/S...QLError26.aspx

Now I get a bad login - which I assume is because there are no accounts in the newly created provider DB - any idea how to add them?

Any thanks for the tips so far

There are a number of ways to add them:

1) Using pages, with the CreateUserWizard

2) Using the API (e.g. Membership.CreateUser)

3. Using the "Database Publishing Wizard" (http://www.codeplex.com/sqlhost/Wiki...shing%20Wizard) that allows you to script an existing database to .sql files that you can import in your new server.

4) Using SQL Server DTS that allows you to copy data between two SQL Servers

5) WIth the Web Sire Administration Tool available from with Visual Web Developer.

Choice enough.... ;)

Custom event details:

I can't believe I got it to run - looks like the I had to replace a name in config.vb

Return ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("Connection String").ConnectionString

    Public Shared ReadOnly Property ConnectionString() As String
        Get
            'Return ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("Connection String").ConnectionString
            Return ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("LocalSQLSe rver").ConnectionString
        End Get
    End Property

Oh, thanks again for your insight and patience - I can tell you are a good developer :)

Hi there,

Glad it's working now...

BTW: Vielen dank is German, not Dutch.... ;)

Sorry about that - sometimes I lose track of what language I am speaking/typing - more often the former

English is not my primary language - but I get by :)

Then maybe I misunderstood. I thought that "Vielen dank" was targeted at me. That happens here every now and then when people confuse Dutch with "Deutsch".... ;)

English is not my primary language either, so I understand your point... ;)

Imar
