Re: MS SQL error...I've come a long way to get this far

I was just thinking about something I've never understood completely!

mssql_connect($server, 'sa', 'PW'); presumes the server doesn't have all the permissions in spite of the fact that it has the password.

The password I gave is the XP Prof login PW.

Maybe some other PW.
