Pat,
Do you have periodic restores of this database from perhaps a production
server? Or from a development server? That would explain the scenario you
are seeing. And yes, as the previous poster said, it could be that someone
is dropping the object and recreating it (perhaps a snapshot replication
type scenario), and the rights aren't being propagated properly.

| I add a new user and give him DB rights in specific
| databases. The user works for a few weeks within each
| database then they will come in one day and will have lost
| rights in a couple of the databases that they had rights
| in the previous day. I haven't touched their security
| settings at all. The user has no way to mess with the
| security settings. But, sure as day, they are unable to
| work in a specific DB because they no longer have rights
| in that DB. The users rights were originally added
| programmatically. When they lose their rights
| unexpectedly, I go back and add the security back using
| EM. A few weeks later, the whole cycle starts over again
| with that same user. It's become a continuous job giving
| users their rights in databases where they have lost their
| rights... fun fun. I Can't establish any pattern... seems
| to be random to me. Can anyone shed some light?? thanks
