please help me with this....and 'EASTERN-DFDRY3R\ASPNET' is a valid user for the database?|||i dont know understand ur question.|||'EASTERN-DFDRY3R\ASPNET' is the the name of '<MACHINE>\ASPNET' account. Sumas is obviously trying to connect to the DataBase using 'Trusted_Connection=True' in his connection string. To do this, he must add the ASPNET account to the DB user list, and give this account the necessary rights.

Open Enterprise mngr and find your Database, right click and choose 'New Database User'. Locate the 'EASTERN-DFDRY3R\ASPNET' account and add the account. Choose permissions and check 'db_owner'. That should do the trick.|||I'm not sure recommending db_owner is good idea, of course I NEVER do that myself <whistle> ;)

Plus if the server is on a different machine, i.e. not EASTERN_DFDRY3R (natty name by the way), then that local user won't be available. So you'll have to change the IIS/ASPNET user.
