Ok, I am very new to SQL Server 2005. I am creating a website in VWD and am wanting to use the Log-in feature. So I've gone through th administrator website thing and followed to wizard until it said this:

"Provider Management
Successfully established a connection to the database.
"

As i am new to SQL Server, i dont really know how to use it. Could someone please help me on how to navigate around it? How to veiw the list of members that have created an account and how to edit their account and so-forth?

Thanks in advance,
Oblique.

What is VWD? To be able to connect to a database from a website you usually need a connectionstring:

This is a sql server forum and we really don't deal to much with asp.net/vb.net which is what you are really doing. You should probably ask here instead -> http://forums.asp.net/

For logging in to SQL SERVER, your application should have a log in, not each individual user.
