Hi Brett,
This error message is the typical symptom when linked services are used and
Windows NT authentication is used to impersonate the client connecting. If
you're using linked services please check out this KB article:
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=238477
You can also connect another database to test if it's related to linked
services.
If you're not using linked services please tell me if the database server
and the web server are on different machines and the operating systems of
these machines.
==================================================
Quote from "Brett"
The odd thing is that it works fine with the user and password in the
connection string in web.config. If I build the same connection string in
the code-behind file, login fails. I set a session variable and turned on
trace to see if the connection string was getting set properly, and it WAS.
I don't understand.
==================================================
It's indeed very strange. Could you confirm that you tested it on the same
client machine and didn't change other settings/code? Could you post the
connection string here? The information will help me dig the issue further.
