Hi, all

I want some information on how to grant access to db for a network account
MSDE is installed on Local Admin account.

sp_grantlogin gives access for local user accounts. But how to enable access for network accounts to local installed MSDE??

thanx

Add a new user to the local machine using Control Panel's Users applet.

is it possible to be more clear?

Which Control panel?
Windows control panel just adds new users which is not related with this problem.

Is it SQL Server's Enterprise manager?
The server I use is MSDE. So I need some console parameters like 'sp_grantlogin'

Problem is MSDE is installed on a network PC in the Local Admin account. But the PC is connected to a Network via Domain controler.
All the users log on to network server to use the PC.

What I want to do is install th MSDE to local account (admin/user)
and enable free access to all the users' network accounts to databases.

Actually, it is. If you're using Windows Authentication, you need to add a new user representing the network account (complete with machine name) to the machine running SQL Server. The user name should be in the form MACHINENAME\UserName.

just add your account into the local administrator group of the msde server, then you can use enterprise manager on another machine to connect to it
