It depends on what else you want to do with the users.
I use a separate user table in the SQL db. The app also allows admins to assign privileges to user.


>>>I have a desktop application (VFP9) which runs in a Windows Network. I always used applications users to log into it, but now I need to develop auditing mechanisms on the database and I guess using native SQL Server users and/or Windows users would ease programing this. Which way should I choose? Their use is conditioned to something?

>>>By the way, and I guess this would effect which kind of users to use, now we are working on the same LAN, but we are planning to do remote work, in other words most of the users will work from their homes.

>>If I understand your question correctly. I have a table in the SQL Server and a class in the app that creates a record in this table for every other table change. Logging who made the change, what time, and specific change. Then, I have a bunch of reports that show any changes done to a table. Therefore, a user or an admin person can view complete audit trail of change. If I misunderstood your question, ignore my input.

>Thanks for replying. Really your reply is what I need to do. But I want to know whether I should use SQL Logins or, instead, register Windows users into SQL and use them for my auditing purposes.
