Hi,

Its seems for some reason that your connection string is not getting passed correctly or is incorrect.

Plus, the way you are connecting seems very complicated to me.

I'm sure there are many ways of doing it but this one works well for me.

In the webconfig file:

<appSettings>
<add key="dbcAnyName" value="Server=[Server Name];DATABASE=[Database Name];UID=appuser;PWD=[appuser password];" />
</appSettings>

To access this connection in the code behind:

_oConn = New SqlConnection(ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("d bcAnyName"))
_oConn.Open()

Dim SQL as String = "SELECT blah, blah, blah;"
Dim CMD As SqlCommand
Dim oRS As SqlDataReader
CMD = New SqlCommand
CMD.Connection = _oConn
CMD.CommandText = SQL
oRS = CMD.ExecuteReader()

oRS.Close()
_oConn.Close()

Hope this helps.

Richard
