Couple of questions:

What framework are you running for IIS?
Is the directory of the application a Virtual Directory?
Do other ASP.NET application have the same problem? (i.e. a simple Hello World app?)

[w_3rabi]

the framework 1.1
and it is a virtual directory
the problem is only with the sql server wich is msde2k

How have you setup SQL? It sounds like you have it setup as Windows Authentication and NOT mixed mode.

You will have to add your ASP.NET user to the sql authenticated users.

i guess i installed it in windows auth.
but the problem is that i installed only the msde which comes with no tools for user management
could u tell me how???
and thanx for repling me anyway
