logging into the db with mixed mode. user is sa
maybe I should trace the db.


>>My dev computer and the working computer (2) are both connected to the same SQL Database.
>>the 3rd computer using the same exe and dbc connects and opens tables but fails on an update that the other computers are succeeding in.
>>
>>computer 2 and 3 do not have VFP installed. computer 2 has sqlexpress and tools but is not connecting to the local db for this app.
>>
>>computer3 only has sql express management tools.
>>
>>why would one computer connect to the db, then fail seconds later with the handle message while the other 2 computers work?
>>
>>Will the client tools help me configure this?
