Mark; Hopefully you've figured it out by now - but users (and groups) are created in the operating system - not in UniData.
There are a couple of permissions that UniData users require that may not be set by default for standard users: 1. logon locally 2. access this computer from a network 3. full permissions on the \unidata directory (although you can pare it down some if req'd) A couple words of warning about the Windows ODBC setup: 1. Many things are still case-sensitive 2. Avoid using a windows user that is a member of the administrators group to create your schema. It messes with the sql permissions. 3. Watch the OS permissions on the privilege file Hth Colin Alfke Calgary, Canada -----Original Message----- From: Mark Thornton Good morning from Central Texas, I am trying to understand the ODBC connectivity with Unidata. I am having problems with privileges assigned to tables and views in my 6.0 production Unix version so I installed the 7.1 Windows personal version to do some testing with. Now I can't determine how to create a new user in the database. The install didn't create a Unidata group as the documentation suggests nor does it detail how that groups permissions should be assigned to Unidata. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
