Databases , I see no databases

  • Using a box Ive got , sql 2000, mixed mode security , allow remote connections etc unless I grant a windows user sa rights it can connect to the server but cant see any databases

    If you give it public and datareader/writer to a db it still cant see it

    Im embarressed to ask as its bound to be simple but there you go !

  • You must grant individual users access to a particualar database. Logged in as sa, from Enterprise Manager, go to Security - Logins. Right click the user you want to give priviledges to, select Properties. On the Database Access tab, check the databases you want them to be able to see. You can also assign them to a role within the database to give them access to the data within the database. The role db_datareader would give them permission to select from (read) any table in the database.

    Hi Steve

    Yes I'd done those steps originally, added myself as a windows user etc when I first hit this problem with all the above , and still under databases it says no items

    thanks Simon

  • p.s interestingly I can see the database and tables in query analyser in the tree view and by querying them , just not via EM
