Aaron,

I have followed your directions to the letter, and had also previously
attempted this with MS's article Q283811, but am coming up with a problem
when I attempt to make the change in Ent. Manager:

Error 22042: xp_SetSQLSecurity() returned error -2147024890, 'The Handle is
invalid.'

Should I be setting this up elsewhere? Has anybody else encountered this
before?

Derek
