Hello,

Since I first created the database, when first getting DNN going, what database login occurs, has been transparent to me. So
I am not familiar with all these concepts for database login credentials and orphaned users, etc. Learning something new
every day :)

The following from my web.config doesn't appear to refer to a login name in my  current Express setup, from my original DB
install?

  <connectionStrings>
    <!-- Connection String for SQL Server 2005 Express -->
    <add name="SiteSqlServer" connectionString="Data Source=.\SQLExpress;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True;AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|TurningPoint.mdf;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
    <!-- Connection String for SQL Server 2000/2005
    <add
      name="SiteSqlServer"
      connectionString="Server=(local);Database=DotNetNuke;uid=;pwd=;"
      providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
   -->
  </connectionStrings>
  <appSettings>
    <!-- Connection String for SQL Server 2005 Express - kept for backwards compatability - legacy modules   -->
    <add key="SiteSqlServer" value="Data Source=.\SQLExpress;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True;AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|TurningPoint.mdf;" />
    <!-- Connection String for SQL Server 2000/2005 - kept for backwards compatability - legacy modules
    <add key="SiteSqlServer" value="Server=(local);Database=DotNetNuke;uid=;pwd=;"/>
    -->

From what I understand so far, I need to uncomment the Connection String for SQL Server 2000/2005 in this web.config and
add login details my provider supplies to me for a new database they create for me on their computer running the fully
functional SQL Server?

cjsmitty has suggested "You can certainly us the same login you had on your original DB install,".  However, as I mentioned
above, I am not aware of an original login. Is this "orphaned users" issue relavent to my situation?
