Hi,

I'm just starting out with ASP.NET and have been watching videos from ASP.NET Learn particularly this video http://asp.net/learn/videos/video-44.aspx. Its about Profiles and Themes. I was following the steps as instructed by got an error when I tried to view my default.aspx in the browser. I did notice that my App_Data folder did not create an ASPNet.MDF unlike in the video. So I did some searching and it turns out I don't have SQL Server Express installed. The truth is I don't want to use SQL Server Express. I prefer to use MS Access if possible.

I guess my question is "Is there a way wherein my Visual Studio automatically connects to an MS Access database instead of SQL Server Express? And If so, how do I set it? And is there a way to link it to the Administer Website?"

Thanks.
