based on the error message, your application is trying to connect to a database located on the server where the application reside. It will work on your computer because your computer probably has a SQL server installed. For this to work on our server, you'll need to move the data to our SQL server and update your connection string accordingly. Bruce DiscountASP.NET www.DiscountASP.NET
