Service Packs on Client tools

  • I have a MS SQL Server 7.0 (sp1) instance and I am trying to give a user access to a particular database (SQL Server authentication)

    I am able to set up the userid and privileges and When I have the user refresh the databases, she can see them. But next time she logs in they're gone. Refreshing takes a long time, and doesn't always work.

    The access if fine when I use Query Analyzer, but Enterprise Manager seems to be having problems. I searched a bit on Google yesterday, and saw plenty of posts to forums from people having the same problem, but no solutions. Has anyone heard of this? Could we need a service pack for the client tools? or perhaps upgrade the Client tools to 2000?

  • Too the best of my knowledge, SQL Server 2000 client tools work with SQL Server 7.

  • Thank you. rather than upgrade the client tools to 2000, I think I will try the MDAC updates. Do you think MDAC 2.8 work as well?? Or do I need to do 2.7 and it's SP1?

  • I don't know realy ..

    but I think MDAC 2.7 and its SP1 and its SP1 refresh is the best

    I think Mdac 2.8 support ADO ver 2 !!
