    Hi,
    I've got it installed and will look it over in a bit.
    If I get a handle on this I'll repost.
    All the best,
    Mark

    Razor automatically loads the membership provider even though the app does not use it.

    To get an application made w/ WebMatrix to work, you'll need to

    1) Upload your application to the server
    2) Download the web.config file.
    3) Open it in your favorite editor and add a connection string section

    <connectionStrings>
    <remove name="LocalSqlServer" />
    <add name="LocalSqlServer" connectionString="Data Source=DBServerName;Integrated Security=false;Initial Catalog=DBName;User ID=DBLogin;Password=DBPassword" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
    </connectionStrings>
