HI, YOUR CONFIGURATION PLACEMENT WAS WRONG. HERE I MODIFIED YOUR CONFIG FILE. HAVE A LOOK:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
	<appSettings>
	</appSettings>
<connectionStrings>
	<add name="appConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=dev2005\sqlexpress;Initial Catalog=NWNET;Integrated Security=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>
</connectionStrings>
<system.web> 
<globalization culture="en-GB"/>
<httpHandlers>
<add path="Reserved.ReportViewerWebControl.axd" verb="*" type="Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.HttpHandler, Microsoft.ReportViewer.WebForms, Version=8.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" validate="false" /></httpHandlers> 
<compilation debug="true" strict="false" explicit="true">
	<buildProviders> 
<add extension=".rdlc" type="Microsoft.Reporting.RdlBuildProvider, Microsoft.ReportViewer.Common, Version=8.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" /></buildProviders> 
</compilation>
	<pages maintainScrollPositionOnPostBack ="true">

TRY BY MODIFYING IN THE BELOW WAY:

<add name="appConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=NWNET;Integrated Security=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>

HOPE IT WILL RESOLVE YOUR PROBLEM.

HEY WHY YOU PLACE THE

<?xml version="1.0"?>

after configuration section. Remove this & it will be the first line. Look at your first post. Why you modified?

I think everything will be just cut the above line & paste it as a first line. If problem doesn't resolve then post whole web.config file. Dont forget to remove your secure information like password/servername etc.

Let me know your status.

	</system.web>
</configuration>

I am getting the following error:

Server Error in '/' Application.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Access is denied.
Description: An error occurred while accessing the resources required to serve this request. The server may not be configured for access to the requested URL.

Error message 401.2.: Unauthorized: Logon failed due to server configuration. Verify that you have permission to view this directory or page based on the credentials you supplied and the authentication methods enabled on the Web server. Contact the Web server's administrator for additional assistance.

Version Information: Microsoft .NET Framework Version:2.0.50727.42; ASP.NET Version:2.0.50727.42

I have made sure all the services are started and the web pages aer copied in a folder in WWWRoot.

What am I doing wrong here?

I need help very quickly with this. I do appreciate everyone's time on this so far especially Saion's. If anyone has an idea please let me know.

Thanks,

Kurt

HI,
THIS IS ALL ABOUT PERMISSION RELATED PROBLEM. COULD YOU PLEASE TRY WITH THE ADMIN CREDENTIALS WHO HAS ENOUGH PERMISSION.

<identity impersonate="true"
          userName="hosting server name\Administrator" 
          password="........." />

THEN YOUR PROBLEM RESOLVED. I AM SURE. BUT THERE IS SCURITY HOLE HERE. SO CRETAE A USER & GIVE THE FULL PERMISSION THEN STEP BY STEP DENY PERMISSIONS & TUNE THE APPLICATION.
