>> Microsoft SQLServer 7.0 SP2 installed. I just looked and saw that SP3 is out there. Maybe I need to install that. <<
First thing I would check is the password for the SA user. Default is no password and it is often not changed after the initial install.(Or it is set to an easy hack.) After that it depends on whether you are using NT authentication or SQL authentication. I always turn on auditing and log all successful and failed logons. Surprising what you find. There may be some patches that need to be installed. The easiest way is to check is with new Security CD from Microsoft. However, I have found that most problems result from a User/Password or permissions hole.
