What is the connection string you're trying to retrieve from the config?
First guess: try adding a space... 'data source'

Hi,
The following is a sample Connection string.
Have a look at it and do ncecessary changes to your string.
"Data Source=Aron1;Initial Catalog=pubs;User Id=sa;Password=asdasd;"
Hope it works.
Happy Coding

Thanks. After closer examination the string was formatted incorrectly. You
have to be careful to write the connection string exactly as it should appear.
