Connection problem with login control

[John]

Hi

When I use the login control to login I get the following error;

Parser Error Message: The connection name 'SqlServices' was not found in the
applications configuration or the connection string is empty.

Source Error: (in file web.config)

Line 44: name="AspNetSqlProvider"
type="System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider" />

My web config file is given below. What is the problem and how can I fix it?

Thanks

Regards
