Hi guys, two questions. I am having trouble connecting to my site, and i read that in the web.config file you should have "SQLDataProvider" not "SqlDataProvider"

Can someone please tell me which one you should have and if it makes a difference. When i changed it to the first one, i got a different error which is as follows. Can someone please tell me what this means and how to fix it? Cheers.
