SQL CE | SSCE | 3.5 SP1 | Unable to find the requested .Net Framework Data Provider. It may not be installed.

Hi, I am relatively new to asp.net but not c# and sql/ssce. I have a working web project that presents the user with a datagrid bound to the following data:
The relative web.config excerpt is:
Works great. Now I am trying to add a second page that also presents a datagrid bound as follows:
The appropriate web.config excerpt:
When loading the second page I get the following error: Unable to find the requested .Net Framework Data Provider. It may not be installed. Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code. Exception Details: System.ArgumentException: Unable to find the requested .Net Framework Data Provider. It may not be installed. Now the only difference that I can see is the differing database file and the fact that it is password protected. I can't understand the error message because it should (I would have thought) applied to the first datagrid as well as the Data Providers are both the same! The error stack trace, written in swahilli as far as I can tell :) reads: [ArgumentException: Unable to find the requested .Net Framework Data Provider. It may not be installed.] System.Data.Common.DbProviderFactories.GetFactory(String providerInvariantName) +1310319 System.Web.UI.WebControls.SqlDataSource.GetDbProviderFactory() +67 System.Web.UI.WebControls.SqlDataSource.GetDbProviderFactorySecure() +22 System.Web.UI.WebControls.SqlDataSource.CreateConnection(String connectionString
