Bill,

I am looking at <Servername>|Security|Logins to get the login information.
The user in question shows no information on the Database Access tab of the
Properties dialog: no databases are checked, no database roles are assigned.
On the Server Roles tab, no server roles are checked. The information
displayed by sp_helplogins is exactly what I would expect. FWIW, this user
was created in SQL 6.5 and was then upgraded. No user created since the
upgrade shows the same behaviour.

KB Q224587, does not look a likely prospect. The timeout occurs when
connecting and seems to be related to the network settings. We have several
third party applications in use which connect to the server using Access 95,
Access 97, Access 2000 and numerous VB and ASP applications using various
flavours of MDAC. I think the issue involves inconsistencies in the drivers
on some of the workstations. We did not have these issues prior to applying
SP4. Oddly, the symptoms seem remarkably like those described in KB Q300519,
which is on the fix list for SP4. I think that rigourously applying MDAC to
the same level and applying the latest Jet 3.5 and 4.0 service packs should
do the trick. It is just tedious.

The issue of an orphaned user sounds plausible, in that the user was created
when the server was at version 6.5. That server was upgraded to SQL Server
7; and we have since replaced the server itself. When the database was
moved, I recreated the SQL Server logins we had added, making sure that the
SIDs matched those on the old server, prior to actually moving the database.
The database itself was detached, the files copied to the new server, and
then reattached. But again, sp_helplogins returns exactly what I expect.

Regards,
    John
