  Bummer! This threw me off because the error said "Server user 'webuser' is not a valid user in database 'Inventory'". SQL Server BOL states in the section for sp_change_users_login, "user must be a valid user in the current database", so I assumed this had to be the wrong answer. Tough one...

  What happened here is that the database user is out of sync with the server login, which gives the error '... not a valid user...'.

  'sp_change_users_login' should fix this broken link.
