Thanks all for your help I am down to my last error in this whole endeavor:
here is the error I am getting
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\BPO\BPOCompSalesListings.aspx.cs(659): 'System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection.SqlConnection(System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection)' is inaccessible due to its protection level
anyone know what would cause this?
