Hi everyone,

Sorry, this applies to SQL Server 2000, but that forum gets little attention.

I have an older instance (2000) that I need to test a login for.

So I cannot use the sqlcmd utility. How can I do this from the command line?

Thanks, John

Thanks, robvolk.

And for anyone interested, this is the syntax I used:

>osql -S EGNSOCWCOM09 -U CrewWebUpdater -P iluvxj -Q "select * from crewsked.dbo.UR_Users"
