The question is, we have a SQL Server 7.0 application running on NT.
We are having problems with the passwords getting reset or expired.
The SQL Server is set up to use SQL Authentication.
We don't know if it's some process or someone or what is causing this
to happen. We've never encountered this before.
We were wondering, if we could "trace" when this happens? We don't
have a "DBA" just application programmers and this is puzzling us. We
have many installations and have never ran across this before. Is
there a stored proc that we can add some kind of trace statement that
would be responsible for changing passwords?
It's not a problem with the "grant" of the object because if we simply
reset the password for the user trying to use the application, it
solves the access problem.
Thanx!
