No, I have not tried SQL Server authentication. Will have to read on how to do it. Thank you for your suggestion.

>>Anyway, in the last attempt I am getting a message "Login Failed for user 'ComputerName\Guest'" The "ComputerName is the computer where SQL Server 2008 resides. Since SQL Server is configured for Windows Authentication I am figuring (guessing) that SQL Server "sees" me as a "Guest" user. What do I need to change (in Windows Users or SQL Server) to make SQL Server 2008 allow the access?

>>TIA.
