| Hi, My MS Access application needs to connect to a SQL server via a system dsn. However, I keep getting the error 18456 - Login failed for user 'xxxx'. The surprising bit is I am able to use the same password and user id and connect to the server using Enterprise Manager. Any ideas on why the dsn is throwing this error? Connection is via SQL authentication. Any help would be much appreciated. Rgds, San |

| Yeah, I was able to resolve the issue by updating the links in Access. Right click on the link table, select Link Table Manager, select, promt for new location,a nd on ok, select the DSN again.... Hope it works for you too ! ~San "goosesr" wrote: > > Any success with this? I'm having the exact same problem.
