Thank you one and all.   I was a little leary about changing the DB owner to another Domain Account - even one that is a member of the local admin group and one that starts the Services.  I kinda walked into a mess here and I have Databases 'owned' by 3 or 4 people that arent' here anymore!!  I guess I would have a bigger mess when they finally decide to delete the NT accounts

I think I'll stick with sa.    Thanks much!!!!!
