All: Solution was provided by Jim Lawrence, which is to add the following register key to the client XP if not already present: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSSQLSERVER\Client\ConnectTo]"MyS erve r"="DBNMPNTW,MyServer" I don't think I made it obvious from my initial post that the problem of the connection attempting a trusted connection occurs only on Windows XP boxes - the mdb works fine on 98 and 2000. FYI, the SQL Server is set up as mixed mode and the connection is done through a connection string, it being: "ODBC;DRIVER={SQL Server};SERVER=pluto;UID=cds;PWD=xxxxx;DATABASE=Coupons;" and relinking the tables through the usual table loop: DoCmd.TransferDatabase acLink, "ODBC Database", myODBCConnectionString, acTable, rs(0), rs(0) By the way, my original post was double posted because I got a reply from postman at magicialdesk.com (whoever that is!) saying the mail was undeliverable because the mailbox was full. So I reposted a little while later. But it turned out that the initial post went through anyway. Thanks to all. Phil Jewett
