Im just wondering, how do you know what the "application name" of a web application is? is it the name of the directory set in the application manager in control panel? I ask this because if the directory name is different to it's name on the local system, when you use the aspnetdb membership/profiles it wont recognise a user because of the fact the application name is different. Thanks in advance RESOLUTION: I found this out myself through testing, so i thought i'd past it incase other people has troubles with it. In the aspnet_Applications table, set the colums AllicationName and LoweredApplicationName to be the directory name you set in the web application tool in the control panel.
