• Visual Basic Applications designed for multiple users

  I am designing an application which would reside on one machine but would require access by any or all of the users who have a user account on that machine. So far, I have been unable to find a way of making the application work from more than one user account. I have tried publishing to a shared folder within All Users which works fine when I install it but doesn't work if I log off and then on again in a different account. The project uses SQL Server Express and I think the problem lies with this as the application screen appears but a timeout error is generated (I have doubled the default time before a timeout occurs as I had a problem sometimes with this within my own account). Is there a way around this or would the user ...Show All

• SQL Server db_dtsadmin role

  Our DBA has given me access to MSDB on the SSIS service on one of our servers as db_dtsadmin. When I try to connect to the server using Integration Services in the connect drop down menu, I get the following generic error msg: connect to SSIS service on server 'xxxx' failed: access is denied. I'm told this role should be sufficient to give me access. Do I need other server access roles to use in conjunction with db_dtsadmin or are we missing something really easy here. Thanks.
