I don't care how I log on as long as I, and anyone else accessing the site,
can open the web page that includes the data from the database (I think that
requires anonymous access being enabled).

What I don't understand is how the 3 lines of code below can work when run
in Web Matrix, but not work when run in Visual Studio or accessed directly
by my browser. If I could figure that out, I could presumably fix the
problem.

Bear in mind also, that a number of possible causes of the problem can be
ruled out by the fact that the code works fine if I change 'certainteed' to
'store'.

What do you think?
