sql server connect: I installed the SQL Critical Update Kit to
get rid of the Slammer. I am now unable to use

This is my connection string:

"Private _strConnection As String = "Data Source = (local); Initial
Catalog = National_Tech_Recruiters; User Id = sa; pwd=;"

This is the error message from my ASP.Net application:

"Error opening connection : Login failed for user 'sa'. Index #0 Server:
(LOCAL) Error Number: 18456 Message: Login failed for user 'sa'.
Severity: 14 State: 1 Source: .Net SqlClient Data Provider Procedure:
LineNumber: 0"

In SQL Server Properties (LOCAL):

Authentication = SQL Server and Windows
