Connection Problems - works in WinForms, not in ASP.NET

Hi,

I am trying to connect to a remote SQL Server 2000 database using ASP.NET. This is my connection string

"Server=LOL-DEV;Database=Livelink;User ID=sa;Password=xxx;Trusted_Connection=False"

With this I get 'access denied or sql server doesn't exist'. If I use exactly the same code in a WinForms app, the connection works OK.

Does anyone have any idea why this might be?

Cheers

JamesI figured it out. You need to have

<identity impersonate="true" /
in your web.config
