sql connection in web.config error saying "Provider" is not a valid keyword

[Chumley the Walrus]

I am now all of a sudden getting an error in this sql connection
string, saying that the Provider keyword is invalid:

<add key="MM_CONNECTION_STRING_isox"
value="Provider=SQLOLEDB;SERVER=xx.xx.xx.xx;UID=xx ;PWD=xxx;DATABASE=xxxx;"
/>

web.config? You probably want to ask in dotnet.aspnet. Followups set to
that group. asp.general is not for dotnet issues at all, and dotnet.general
is typically not for asp.net-related questions.
