PivotTable Office Web Component irritation

I'm trying to create a pivot table for Internet Explorer using Office Web Components. Only it seems I can't get it to work unless I use integrated windows security. Thing is, the SQL server I'm using doesn't recognize domain users. We have a special read-only user name and password for that server. Despite the fact that I have put this username and password in the ConnectionString property, I cannot get this damn thing to work at all. It always requests that the user enter their name/password pair. Or when I fiddle with it, it just doesn't work at all and doesn't give me any error information.

It's days like these that I dislike being a programmer.
