Permissions?? Do you have access to the uci.config file? Terminal Server setup so that the UD development kit was installed for the other user and not yours?
Try creating an empty text file on the desktop called testconnection.udl. Then run it. You should get a "Data Link Properties" box. Make sure the provider is "UniOLEDB Provider" (or whatever it's called now). In the connection tab set the Data Source to the item in the uci.config file you wish to use (this is case-sensitive). Location can be either a full path or an account defined in ud.account. Use a specific user and enter the user name. Uncheck Blank password and then enter the correct password. You should then be able to "Test Connection". When you OK it should update the testconnection.udl file. Open with notepad to get the connection string. Mine's: [oledb] ; Everything after this line is an OLE DB initstring Provider=IBM.UniOLEDB.1;Persist Security Info=False;User ID=calfke;Data Source=UDODBC;Location=d:\unidata\udodbc Hth Colin Alfke Calgary, Canada -----Original Message----- From: Kevin King Well, no. If this other person RDPs into the box, authenticates into SQL Server, and runs the query, purportedly it works. If I RDP into the box, authenticate into SQL Server and run the exact same query against that linked server, it fails with the message as shown earlier. _______________________________________________ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
