Hello Sandy,

This suggestion is actually about administration and not so much about
coding. As far as I remember, the account ASP .NET runs your applications
under is configured in the machine.config file. You should probably refer to
an MSDN section on ASP .NET security for the details.

The SQL server is configured to accept a certain account through its
Enterprise Manager facility (well, unless you are in deep love with command
line tools or system stored procedures :-). You should create a new login
and then create a user in the database that would correspond to that login
(usually when you specify which databases the login will have access to, the
appropriate users will be created for you).
