to grant access to the db..

exec sp_grantdbaccess 'databasename','loginname'

set the default db

exec sp_defaultdb 'loginname','databasename'



Poor planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part.

well i tried that but that didnt work either.. i did try changing the built-in account property of the SQL server in the SQL server configuration manager to Local system rather than local service and it works now
