Sounds like asp.net runs as different accounts
(in the VS internal server and on the internet).
Save the following page to your application directory and run it,
both from inside VS 2005 and from the internet.
identity.aspx:
------------------
<%@ Page Language="VB" %>
<%@ Import NameSpace = System.Security.Principal %>
<script runat="server">
Sub Page_Load()
Dim tmp As String = WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent.Name()
Label1.Text = tmp
End Sub
</script>
<html>
<head>
<title>What account is ASP.NET running as ?</title>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div>
<asp:Label ID="Label1" Runat="server" Text="Label"></asp:Label>
</div>
</form>
</body>
</html>
-----------
If that file returns different accounts depending on where it's run from,
adjust the access permissions accordingly.

>I need to add a login front end to an existing website. No big deal ????
VS 2005 / Vista / II7 / SQL Express
Well I go into the security and add a welcome page and a login page. Real easy and the .Net
Config tool allows the changing of security and creation of users etc. Again real easy.
Tested in VS and all works. Close VS and attempt from the internet. I then get "cannot open user
default database. Login failed". I know I am using correct userid / password.
What gives. So I go back to VS and all is good. Problem is that users can't run from VS.
