Thanks Mike,

Unfortunately what is priority for one dept falls on deaf ears of another. I'm waiting for the sysadmins to create the same account/passwords on both boxes, then I'll be able to test this. But hey, I did get something out this. I can now debug stored procedures on as the service is running with a domain account now. I'll post an update when I get the accounts setup (hopefully this year - arrrgh!)
