- The best way to do it is to use VWD Express. Using the membership controls of Expression by default uses a SQLExpress database, and if you are going to do that, you are so much better off setting things up with Visual Web Developer than doing it with Expression, even though Jim has given you a process to jump through all the hoops needed if you stick with just Expresssion. VWD is free. It's entirely compatible with Expression and unless you are planning a very "vanilla" membership site, and not planning to *do* anything but let users login and logout, you should use it. There is just no reason not to.
Trust me, if you are setting up a membership website, and especially if eventually you will want users to see their specific data or anything else database wise, you *will* have to duck into a little code-behind, and if you didnt set things up with VWD instead of Expression, you will wish you did.

The resource is right there in the tutorial. right below where it says this
"That link is generated by ASP.NET and is designed to launch the Web Site Administration Tool. Unfortunately, Expression Web doesn't support the use of this link."
Jim has provided a literal step-by-step procedure to follow to use the WSAT with your EW site. Follow the instructions. Frankly, I know of know other way to deploy an unsupported tool for use with EW ASP.NET pages.

Plural's don't have apostrophe's. It seem's sometime's that any word's ending in "s" get a gratuitous apostrophe. Apostrophe's are used to indicate possessive's and elision's (contraction's or abbreviation's). - The best way to do it is to use VWD Express.
