Manrique,

SQL Server security is a two-part "thing" ... first one needs permission to
just access a SQL Server instance ... which by itself does not necessarily
grant access to any database in that instance, and then one has to have
permissions to access the database itself.

Take a look at the documentation on the sp_change_users_login system stored
procedure. Sounds to me that you just need to execute it in order to have
SQL Server "re-sync" its two levels of security.

You also might consider reading about SQL Server security in the SQL Server
Books Online. The section "Managing Security", and its sub-sections, are
perhaps a good place to begin.

When posting, inclusion of SQL (CREATE TABLE ..., INSERT ..., etc.) which
