Re: Object browser or database dropdown in Query Analyzer freezes

Yes, I expect it's a rights issue on the SQL Server itself. Each login is granted (or not granted) rights to the objects including the list of databases. Generally this prevents getting a connection so perhaps your login has rights to Views or SPs but not to the other objects. Frankly, this is exactly how it's supposed to work. Check with your DBA for details on how to expand those rights...

I can connect to SQLServer using Query Analyzer and execute queries just fine
but when I try to drop down the list of databases or open the Object Browser
window it freezes. I suspect it has something to do with authentication. It
is checking to see which databases I am allowed to see but never returns from
domain controller. Does anyone know which ports are being used for
authentication or verification? We don't see anything blocked. Firewall guys
say it is not theirs because nothing is blocked. Network guys say it is not
theirs because network is fine. All other applications appear to work fine,
it is only Query Analyzer and Enterprise Manager that lock up. Any ideas?
