Hi,
IIRC you have to assign permissions to the ASPNET user along the lines of -
osql -E -S (local)\NetSDK -Q "sp_grantlogin '<machinename>\ASPNET'"
osql -E -S (local)\NetSDK -d <database> -Q "sp_grantdbaccess 'DEVTOP\ASPNET'"
osql -E -S (local)\NetSDK -d <database> -Q "sp_addrolemember 'db_owner',
'<database>\ASPNET'"
There is information about this under a link called "Configuration Details"
in the "Step 2: Set up the Quickstarts " paragraph on the Quickstarts opening
page. That takes you to "ConfigDetails.htm" which has a para called "Granting
Access to the ASPNET user".
HTH.
