When I right-click the BegASPNEt folder and select properties, there is no securities tab. How do I get it to show?

Try This:
Right-Click BegAspNet directory and select properties.
From BegASPNET properties page, select Directory security tag and then select "edit" button.
This will open up a dialog box named authentication method.
Click Browse and that will take you to select user page page ( the one on page 42 of the ASP.net1.0 with Visual Basic.net book ).
You can follow book to add ASPNET.
When u enter ASPNET u will see your name added with ASPNET user as
"yourName\ASPNET".

Thank you for your input to my problem.
Unfortunately, the problem is that I do not have any Securities tabs on my Directory Properties folders.
How do I get them to appear?

I do no see the security tab either. I am using WindowXp Professional. This book seems to be written for Window 2000 Professional. Window Xp pro have solved a lot of security issues. My understanding is that with window Xp Security tab is not needed. By following the instructions i posted earlier, your ASPNET asscess is generated, provided that you logged in with Administrator previlliges. Good Luck.

Thank you, Zakram,
I guess I'd made a typo when I copied the code.
I tried it out using the the sample code and it worked (when I added the correct location of the db!)

That is very interesting that XP Pro has solved that problem.
It looks like it's going well now. I'm already up to Chapter 7.
