Solution 1:
You can add UID=sa;pwd=; at the end of the connection string. Provided if you do not have password for sa and if you do then add UID=sa;pwd=yourpassword;

Solution 2:
Open the property window of the database in the Enterprise Manager and under Security tab change the authentication mode to SQL server and windows. Make sure that windows user has enough previliges to access the database.

I have tried both ways and none of them work. I will post the solution after I make it works.

I just solved the problem by creating new user from database. You shall try to use those methods first, if it not works, create new user will be okay for you.

I just wanted to say thanks to Ned. I have been looking all over for a solution to a similar problem that i was having with an ASP page connecting to SQL on a separate server. I added "UID=sa;pwd=;" to my connect string and it worked.

Thanks again.
