• SQL Server Logins across Linked Servers

  Hi. I wish to be bale to call a proc on a linked server but i am having difficulty with logins. I have a sql 2000 server linked to a sql 2005 server. To be able to call the proc on 2005 a login for the user must exist on both 2000 and 2005, and the login on 2005 must have access to the db and 'grant execute' on the proc. Is there a way to allow access to the 2005 db without having to perform maintenance of the logins to ensure they match I know i could just have 1 login on 2005 that all users on 2000 are mapped to but this means new users added would have to also be mapped in the future. Is it possible to call the stored proc on 2000 by impersonating a login that exists on both servers Something similar to 'EXECUTE AS LOGIN = ' ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Install an Exe and preserving it...

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Need help with a macro (not sure if correct site... thx)

  Hi! I'm using MS Word 2003 and am trying to create a macro to edit a very long file I have. The macro would make it so easy to fix, but I can't figure out how to create it correctly. I've been using the macro recorder so it records my moves. I had copied a word using ctrl+shift+left arrow and then tried to find the word again using the "find" function and then pasting what I had copied into the find function. When I open the macro, it is looking at the find function with the "text" of my previously copied information, i.e., "ARNP" rather than the new copied/pasted info from my next selection. (Does this make sense ) I'll paste the macro below for those who may be able to help. (All I want is to be able to fin ...Show All
