Thanks Mike123,
I got what I wanted to work: I was using aspnet_regsql, authentication and membership to work. But when I used the Web Admin Tool (WAT) it showed a predefined membership and role provider, but the don't seem to be configured. I then tried to add my own, but for some reason they would not connect to sql. I never figured out where the default providers are defined or configured; they start with Asp...
Later then providers I created connecting to the db (to my supprise!). I had just exited the T.L. Zone. I know get the log in screen and it all seems to work. I suspect the defaults ar related to Enterprise Lib, but have not confirmed this at this time.
Thanks
Michael
P.S. This stuff you sent me must be related to EntLib?
