Whahooo.
I guess for those who still code everyday this is second nature, But I'm chuffed I got it working.
My ISP upgraded my domain to run on framework 2.0, but I'm still on SQL 2000.
I wanted to start playing with ASP's membership providers, which meant I had to get it to talk to a remote SQL 2000 DB.
Thanks to ASP Alliance I got it working.
Wow this stuff is really great.
