Hi, I've been unable to set up a web site for Membership following the text from p584 onwards. I've spent a day sourcing more info but I'm more confused than ever. If I've understood correctly, VS2005 should auto create the SQLServerExpress file in the App_Data folder automatically. I must have missed something not clearly explained on page 587. I wonder if any of you have got it to work and if so could share with me the outline steps required to do this using VS 2005 and SqlServer Express - ideally right from creating the new website.
Regards

Sorted! I'm assuming the problem was related to the default instance of SQL SERVER EXPRESS installed as part of VS 2005. After creating a new instance everything fell into place and worked nicely. Lost a day but that's life - onwards and upwards (well at least to the end of chapter 16..)
