>Hmm, can you login as 'sa' from any computer?

It works! I uninstalled MSDE 2000, and reinstalled MSDE 2000 from the VS.NET CD. Then changed authentication to Windows and SQL Server..

The last time I had installed MSDE 2000 from the VFP 7.0 CD. Wonder if that can make a difference. If I have time I'll try it and let you know.

Thank you very much for your help.
