Hi... I am new to this so appollogies if I am asking in the wrong place...
If not could someone please point me in the right direction. This is driving
me crazy, I only logged on to have a quick play and that was hours ago...

I have just installed  VS.net 2003 (full install) and have a couple of
problems I expect these are common newbie problems). I am running widows xp
sp2 and sql server 2000...

1) I can't access the on-line "quickstart" tutorials. The folders were
created succesfully on my IIS but all I get is "you are not authorised etc.
I am logged on with full admin rights etc.

2) When I try and run the samples (e.g. the datagrid) I get the following
error

"An unhandled exception of type 'system.data.sqlclient.sqlexception'
occurred in system.data.dll additional information: system error"

I can connect just fine from the same machine to the server via Access and
have even tried copying the .exe to the server (with the connection string
set to local etc.) but nothng works :@(

Thanks very much :@)
