So, im workiing on this project at th emoment and I have the ASPNETDB database (The one which does all the login stuff, is a tool that you drag on and the database gets automatically created.

I migrated that .MDF database file to live on a proper SQL Server Database, but the problem I now have is that the program now cant find that database.

I cant figure out how to change the link to point at the SQL database rather than the .MDF file
Does anyone know how to do this?

Im using Visual Studio 2008 and SQL Server 2005 Developer on Server 2003

Thanks in advanced!

If I'm understanding that correctly, then it should be just a matter of updating your SQL connection string in the Web.config

Rather than pointing to the .mdf, you'll want something like this:

Data Source=myServerAddress;Initial Catalog=myDataBase;User Id=myUsername;Password=myPassword;

Here is the connection string from my web.config file on a server connecting to a MSSQL database
name="name" connectionString="Data Source=DBSERVERIP;Initial Catalog=DBNAME;User ID=DBUSERD;password=DBPASSWORD;Trusted_Connection=no;
