1. You could write a custom membership provider.

These articles explain :

2. You could add the tables you need to your existing database table.

Here's a guide : http://www.steamed-design.com/

....and here's info on aspnet_regsql.exe :

Ok, ScottGu's blog was a good link to answer my question.

So, now I have a follow up question, which came up in Scott's blog, but was not answered:

If I have an existing database with my own user/password data already in a table, how can I configure ASP .NET to use
that data? How would the provider know to use my tables and what field represents what data?

Hi Scott,

As for configuring ASP.NET 2.0 membership to connect SQL Server 2000, you
need to do the following things:

** use aspnet_regsql.exe tool to setup a database in sqlserver 2000 db

** add a new membership provider in your ASP.NET 2.0 application which use
a connectionstring pointed to your SQL Server 2000 database

Here are two web articles provided detailed steps:

Subject: Replacing VS .NET's SQL Server Express Edition Integration

I've seen many posts and ready articles discussing how changing the
membership & roles "provider" in VS .NET is easy, but have yet to see
instructions on how to do it.

If I already have SQL Server 2000 on a machine and didn't install SQL
Server
2005 Express with my VS .NET installation, how do I set up my existing SQL
2000 server to be the membership & roles provider for ASP .NET?
