Interesting. WHen I first read this, I thought the account he had was on the 
SQL server where the DB was located. In which case, he would have an account 
on the server and could get to a command prompt. But it appears the account 
is not on the server, but within SQL.  Now how you can do this within Access 
is beyond me. Access is a file database, unlike SQL server which has 
processes running on the server of interest.
