but I get (having enabled debug mode):

"An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Server Network Interfaces, error: 25 - Connection string is not valid)"

Which I guess means that I've got it wrong

The page I'm working on is: http://image-machine.com/content/gue...guestbook.aspx

Any clues, please?

Have you tried it with an OleDb connection string?
