Thanks Drew - I'll look that up. -----Original Message----- There's a thread just a week or so ago with the subject 'Active Directory Authentication or Lookup for ...' has some good points. In addition to what was posted in that thread, your SQL Server, if it is using NT authentication, you shouldn't have to do anything special for your users to connect to linked tables, because it should be automatically using their logged in credentials. Drew -----Original Message----- I'm working on upsizing one of my customers to SQL. They have asked if we could eliminate the Access workgroup username and password login that I currently use (mostly just so the database knows who is logging in). With SQL using Windows Authentication, my Access app could simply pick up on the current username and go from there, without going through an additional username and password entry. Has anyone done this? Any pros, cons, or gotchas? Thanks!
