Re: Can only log into a MSDE ODBC Connection as Administrator



Sue,
We found out we were using the wrong port for MSDE. MSDE was listening on
Port 1143. We were using the SQL default of 1443 Thank you for your help. I
have another question now that this one is resolved. I'll start a new
thread. Thank you again for your help.
