There is an "sa" account under the Security>Logins area. The "type" is
standard. Does that coorelate to a SQL Server login? I didn't set up the
machine so don't know the password of that account.

What is the difference between users set up under the Security>Logins area
and those set up under the Databases area? I tried adding myself to each
database, but got the error saying "Debbie" was already set up and that's
because it's under Security>Logins and is set to use the "master" as the
default. I tried setting up the connection to use that SQL Server
authentication, but get the same error message.

No matter what combination I try, I can't get it to work. Thanks for your
help.
