count writes "Sorry if this isn't covered by your forum, but i can't find the solution. I think it is a problem with the authentication on my server. I have my server set up in Mixed mode and intend to connect to my database using an ODBC sql server driver (the default one supplied with Win2K.)

I have setup my user in the Security folder, and then ensured that the user is in the appropriate user sections of both my database and the master database. I then create my ODBC System Data source, using again SQL server authentication. When i get to the end i test the source and the Driver connects straightaway. If i then try to just test the ODBC source, by clicking configure and then finish, i get the following message:

[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Login failed for user

I have tried reinstalling the server several times. I have installed sql server 2000 sp2. I have discovered that if i create a user without a password then my driver will connect successfully.

Any hints would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks"

You entered the password (every time you click configure)?
