Visual Studio 2005 Web Site _ SQL Server 2005

Hi, I created a site using "Personal Web Site Starter Kit" in VS 2005 C#. The data base I am
using is MS SQL Server 2005. When I post the site I get the following errors.
Is there anything I need to do to get may site to accept SQL?

Thank you,
Paul

Check your connection string in the web.config.make sure nothing nothin is pointing to your sql express.

See: http://community.discountasp.net/default.aspx?f=25&m=8785

For (Step 4) use personal-add.sql instead or attach personal.mdf using the control panel MS SQL 2005 Tool Suite.
