    well.. this depends on how you code your application?

    if you are pulling your connection string out from the web.config file's appsetting section, then you most likely need to update the database connection string.

    Ok. Well, I used SQL express 2005 for the backend. I also ran scripts to create my tables in the database. I'll show you an example of my connection string.....

    Ok. Thank you. I did all the above. Fixed the web.config file. It's really frustrating...I thought db connectivity would be a lot simpler. Of course this is the first time using sql server 2005. Now, i get the sql server does not exist or access denied error. I even tried using the owner account and pw, changing pw's. I dont know whats going on. Any ideas.

    This error usually means that the application is not able to connect to the SQL server (usually a wrong name was supplied)

    Are you running this application on your local computer or our web server?
