Newbie needs help

I set up the MS SQL Desktop server engine on my computer.
I successfully set up a database and the table structure using a query
utility. My Visual Studio logs in to the server using a system account that
magically exists.

but...

I can't make my web application log in to the database. I can't configure
the connection string to connect. I can't figure out how to create new
authorized user accounts that might work either. The SQL desktop engine is
a black box.

I'm stuck. How do you work this thing?

Bob

Dim lsConn ' ConnectionString for database
Dim ladoConn ' Database connection

' Server connection
lsConn = "Provider=sqloledb;" + _
"Data Source=<ServerName>;" + _
"Database=<DatabaseName>;" + _
"UID=<UserID>;" + _
"PWD=<Password>"

' Connect to the database
Set ladoConn = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
ladoConn.Open(lsConn)
