Permissions issue?

I have a SQL Server 2005 Express db on my local machine for testing and I'm
using Dreamweaver 8 to connect to it. No problem. However.. when I try out
a page on localhost through a browser, I get this message:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers (0x80004005)
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Cannot open datab
ase
"Linker_app" requested by the login. The login failed.
/linkerapp/login.asp, line 24
That would usually be a permissions issue, but I found the database and
allowed the Internet Guest Account to access it . .but the message is still
there.
Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Many thanks!
NancyHere are some Express links that might come in handy. I would check to
ensure it allows remote connections and that the db is open.
