I can get into enterprise manager but when I open the tree view to where the databases should be listed it says it can't connect (SQL Server does not exist or Access is denied). There has to be some type of permissions/account problem either with SQL Server or XP. Any help to lead me in the right direction is very much appreciated.Thanks." |

| Did you register the database in EM?Usually this is a case of where the database is setup to only allow windows authentication and you are trying to connect with a local sql account. Switch the mode to local and windows accounts. |
