I need to admit right up front that I get VERY confused about the security
implementation of SQL Server and it's relationship with Windows security. I
am running a sample and I installed the following security on my '(local)'
server:

EXEC sp_addlogin 'CRReports', 'crreports', 'Northwind'
go
use Northwind
go
EXEC sp_grantdbaccess 'CRReports', 'CRReports'
go

I have tried various methods to log into Northwind (.udl file; .NET Data
Link Properties, etc.) using the "CR/cr..." combination and continue to get:

"Login failed for user 'CRReports'. Reason: Not associated with a trusted
SQL Server connection."

Using EM I looked to see if 'CRReports' was a user and it IS in the user
list both at the Server level and in Northwind.

What's wrong?

(Environment: Windows Professional 2000; SQL Server 2000)

TIA,

Larry Woods
