I thought it would something as easy as that, but I didn't want to assume.  :)  You have mail and thank you again!

The provider model in DNN assumes that any new provider will require every class that interacts with that provider to change.  Thus, when you create a new provider called PortalSqlDataProvider, it starts looking for classes that end in PortalSqlDataProvider instead of SqlDataProvider.  So... either replace/rename (just in the web.config) the core's SqlDataProvider, and use that name, or recompile all of the SqlDataProvider classes in the core as Whatever.PortalSqlDataProvider insead of Whatever.SqlDataProvider.

Hope it helps,

Hmmm... I was about to be so "confused" and scratch my head some more.  At first when I made the suggested change, it still gave me the type error we have been going over.  Then, as I was about to give up and post to this thread again, I decided to reload the page one more time...

And it WORKS!  :)  Something had to clear in the application cache or something, I guess.  Thank you everyone for helping me with this.  And don't forget to follow the naming convention set forth by the DNN core.

What will continue to boggle me on this though is the need for the name to follow the pattern.  While tracing through this, I didn't notice anywhere in the code where it checks the classname or type name for "SqlDataProvider". 

Whew!  That was a tough one!  :)  Thanks again...
