batfile I want to be prompted for userid and password.
How do I do this ??? (must work on NT/2000)"

The only way that this could work is to write some code to prompt for a user name and password, then pass them into the batch file. If you don't specify a user and password to osql, it will use Windows Authentication.

I don't know about the prompting, but you can just use some parameters on the batch file. %1 %2 etc.

Or you can use NT Authentication on it, the -U option will do this.
