Hi,
Im doing a connection between ASP.NET and SQL Server and am having problems. Im setting up the connection in the web.confiq file using
<appSettings>
<add key="ConnectionString" value="server=localhost;da
</appSettings>
Error coming up is that sa is not a recognised logon? I dont have any username or password for the db so what do I do?
Thanks

hmmm....i don't know if this applies in this case but MS Sql server has two different authentification methods:
1) windows authentification (in this case sa most probably will not work and you get your error message even though from your machine it looks like you don't need a username and password to connect to the server...)
Hope this helps

If you don't know a username and password perhaps you not supposed to have access? If you are get in touch with someone who can tell you the appropriate details. You should not be using 'sa' in any case - this has probably been changed for security reasons anyway. A simple sql connection string in .net should look like:
Data Source=SERVER;Initail Catalog:DATABASE;User ID:NAME;Password:PASSWORD;
