Login not working but New account logs user in

[Kirk Groome]

Hi all,

I'm working on a web site and I would like to use the VS login controls. The
problem I'm having is that when I create a new user all works fine. The user
gets added to the database and is logged in to the web site. the problem is
when you leave the web site you can not login again. I get a message " Your
login attempt was not successful. Please try again.".
I have a form where I have added the LogIn, LoginStatus, LoginName, and
CreateUserWizard. I'm not using the SQL express database but a SQL 2000
database.
I have checked the database and the user info is getting added to the table
aspnet_users table. below is my web.config file.
Any ideas on why a user can not log in would greatly help me out.

Thanks
Kirk Groome

Kirk,

This might sound silly but are you logging in with an email address instead
of the user name?

These are some other troubleshooting tests:
Can you register the same user name twice?
Can you register the same email twice?

I visually examined your web.config and its almost identical to my sqlserver
setup.

I don't have a pages sections I do have a assemblies section, I do have a
stronger password.
