No. If an account is granted login rights to a SQL Server you can't restrict what application they use to connect. At least not within standard SQL Server security. There might be some way to hack your way to this.

May be a way to do that - but I don't think it would be worth it.

Yeah, that's kind of what I meant. Even when you get to 2005+ you can't really do it well.

Correct

Logon Triggers can be used for this if, but they may not work because the application name is passed in as a parameter to a connection string, so I can make any application say it's another application. This is one of the reasons why you need to make sure you set permissions appropriately using least privileges. Once you've let a person on your SQL Server you can't really control how they connect so you need to be sure you've locked down their account properly.

Thanks for the replies guys the best I can do is to restrict the access of the user so that even with a successful registration in Enterprise Manager the user can do nothing in the databases
