Hi Mister Magoo,

No, I don't believe they are allowing that sort of access - they're quite strict about it. And this is the first time they've been asked to allow access from a desktop to any SQL Server DB that supports a major transaction system.

Seeing we are mainly an Oracle shop, we don't have many SQL Server DBs and therefore they didn't plan for providing this sort of access.

Any ideas?

Regards

Mick
