The only change that I made to the web config file was the one that the
article suggested that I make. That is, add the appSettings section.

With regard to the security settings for the dll, what should they be?
Also, please specify what dll that you are concerned about. This application
was created and then built in VS 2003 just like all my other apps. What now
would make VS alter an app's security settings? Does Windows XP SP2 have a
hand in this?

Thank you for your help in this matter.
