Hi, Barry.

The issue you're seeing is that your database server doesn't
have a user named "JACKSON-QS7MHO6H\ASPNET"
with permissions to access the pubs database.

Since you're not specifying a username in your connection string,
the ASP.NET user is the one which attempts to login...and fails.

Add a user named "JACKSON-QS7MHO6H\ASPNET"
( that's "YourMachineName\ASPNET" ) to either SQL Server
or MSDE ( whichever you're using ) and give it permissions to
access the pubs database.

Barry you need ASPNET account to log into SQL SERVER(thats the ASPNET
WORK PROCESS ASP.NET uses).
Add ASPNET acct to your SQL server.
Hope that helps

Apart from allowing access to the ASPNET account (see
Juan's and Patrick's reply), you may also consider using
authentication and impersonation. This will make your
application run under the account that's logged on, and
if that account has access to your database, it will work.

Search Google for "ASP.NET impersonation".
