This is what my connect.asp looks like.

<Html>
<Head>
<Title> Testing Our Connection </Title>
</Head>
<Body>
<%
Dim adOpenForwardOnly, adLockReadOnly, adCmdTable
adOpenForwardOnly=0
adLockReadOnly=1
adCmdTable=2

Dim objConn, objRS
Set objConn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.CONNECTION")
Set objRS = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.RECORDSET")

Dim strDatabaseType
strDatabaseType = "MSDE"

objConn.Open "Driver={SQL Server};" & _
"Server=127.0.0.1;" & _
"Database=payroll;" & _
"Uid=;" & _
"Pwd=;"

objRS.Open "payroll", objConn, adOpenForwardOnly,adLockReadOnly, adCmdTable

While not objrs.eof
rsponse.write objrs.fields("emp_id") & "<br>"
objrs.movenext
Wend

objrs.Close
Set objrs = Nothing

objconn.Close
Set objconn = Nothing
%>
</body>
</html>

But when I open it in my IE I get the following Error Message.

Error Type:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers (0x80040E4D)
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Login failed for user 'ADMINISTRATOR\IUSR_FAHAD'.
/begasp/connect.asp, line 22

Line 22 is the connection string line on my editor.

Please can someone telll me how can I fix this problem.

Has the username in the error message been given rights to access the database? That's what the error message is saying - the user doesn't have access to the db

You should pass the Userid and Password details in UID and PWD. Now it is taking the Windows authentication to connect to SQL where it is getting failed.
