Applies to: Visual Studio 2008 Professional Hi everyone, I'm in the middle of creating a website with VS2008 and I'm trying to integrate a user registration/login section on the website but I've come up against a small problem. I've configured the database and set up a test user through the ASP.NET Website Administration Tool (Website > ASP.NET Configuration), I've created a user registration page and a user login page but when I try to register a test user from the website itself, I'm receiving the following error message - yet I can add a new user without any problems from the Website Administration Tool - but that kind of defeats the point because I want users to be able to self-register through the website. The error message that I see when I test the registration page on the website is: Failed to update the database because the database is read-only which doesn't make much sense to me because I can register a new user through the website administration tool which must indicate the database has write permissions and if I drill down to the directory where the database is stored on the website and right-click > Properties, it doesn't have a tick in the box for read-only, so I'm a bit confused why I would be getting this error or what I can do to resolve it. Can anyone offer any suggestions or workarounds please as I don't really know how to solve this problem Many thanks in advance Wayne
