Migrate Application from Server 2003 to Server 2012

I currently have a front-end application (written in asp.net) running on a 2003 server. The application writes to a back-end database.
We have attempted to move the application to a 2012 server. After moving the app, the users can no longer save the info (write to the db)
What is the best way to migrate this application to the new server.

Was the database migrated/upgraded as well? What is the "database" engine and what version is it?

Is it an MS SQL database, Access or other? Is the database local? Can your users read from the DB? Can you verify database connectivity?

If using MS SQL can you test with the sa account? Can you write to the DB in SQL Management Studio while using the userid and pass from your scripts connection string?

If your users can read from the DB and no access issues exist. Then you will want to share your insert code.
