I suddenly can't work with my Enterprise Manager.
It tells me that log in failed  - Can't access user's default database.

What can I do about it?
I really need to fix it fast.
Thanks a lot
Shimon.

Connect from Query Analyzer and change the default database for the user
you are using to login from SQL EM.

sp_defaultdb 'user', 'db'

Log in as a different user in QA... one with admin rights. Then change
the default database.

Hi Shimon,

Thanks for your posting!

From your descriptions, I understood you are not able to connect SQL Server
via SQL Server Enterprise Manager. Have I understood you? If I have
misunderstood your concern, please feel free to point it out.

First of all, would you please help me clarify the words "I connected using
Visial Studio"? You have said you are working wiht your Enterprise Manager?
When do you meet the error message "Can't access user's default database"?
More detailed informaiton, I believe, will make us closer to the
resolution. Please help me collecting the information by answering the
questions below

What account you are using to connect this SQL Server?
The SQL Server machine is in LAN or Internet?

Thanks for your response.
I resolved the issue.
What happen I deleted my default database. And all the users for the SQL
Server had that database as default. So every program (EM,QA) that uses
default database in order to operate was throwing errors that they can't
login to the server.
So I decided to create database project in VS that uses specifies database
for login and not default and changed default database for all the users.
Thanks again.
Shimon.
