Thanks once again leupold, however im still having no luck. I cant access the site from the www.hostename.com/aspx?ctl=login address either.

Then i downloaded the database and i have tried to ediit it the table, but found there was no tables in the database store, tables option.

Am i doing something wrong? I got the database file from "App_data" folder on the webserver.

Can someone help me please as i am really stuck!

thanks everyone!

is this correct, i got the connection string from the web.config file. Also should this file be in the root directory as i found a few of them on the site in different directories.

Here is the connection string:

 <!-- Connection String for SQL Server 2005 Express
      name="SiteSqlServer"
      connectionString="Data Source=.\tcp:sql2k508.discountasp.net;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True;AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|dnn434;"
      providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
    Connection String for SQL Server 2000/2005-->
    <add name="SiteSqlServer" connectionString="Server=sql2k508.discountasp.net;Database=SQL2005_381568_gamesbuzz;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;AttachDBFiorylename=|DataDirect|Database.mdf;"/> -->
    <!-- Connection String for SQL Server 2000/2005 - kept for backwards compatability - legacy modules-->
    <add key="SiteSqlServer" value="Server=sql2k508.discountasp.net;Database=SQL2005_381568_gamesbuzz;uid=********;pwd=******;" />

Any ideas where the database lives?

cheers.
