Re: Client access to sql database



What ever it is that is attempting to run the report must be making a new
connection. But without knowing what or how it is attempting to do this it
is anyone's guess. The vendor must have a clue as to how they connect and
why this is happening. After all they wrote it<g>. You can try using
profiler to see what they are sending to sql server at the time it happens.
Other than that I don't have a clue as to what the app is really doing.
