I am writing a report scheduling service in VB .NET and I am having
problems connecting to my SQL Server database using the trusted
connection. This is my connection string.

"workstation id=CNOLAN;packet size=4096;integrated security=SSPI;data
source=SALESWEB;persist security info=False;initial catalog=ICBILLING"

WHen I try to open my connection I get the error "Login failed for
user '\'".

I use the same connection string on a report viewing windows
application without any problems. I exist as a user on the database.

Can anyone help?

This should really go to a sql newsgroup/alias. As for the problem itself
it is probably because the service is running under a different identity
than the regular application.
