Ok, granted that creating a multi-threaded application and handling all the inter-thread communication might be a bit of an overshoot here.

However, I could live with an application that runs with both users' permissions. Couldn't that be done? I'm no expert on the matter, but isn't it standard practice to grant physical access to a database only through the application?

BTW, if this isn't the right newsgroup, ¿could you indicate which is?

Thanks again.

     Ok, so you use impersonation or create two processes: one as
     dbUser, one as Login User. Now, you have to communicate between
