I expand the security on the SQL2000, right click on one of the login name to see the property of it and i got an error:
Error 220: Arithmetic overflow error for data type smallint = 32802
the statement has been terminated.
I thought if i am running a query or writing some codes or
trying to pass a numeric value that is too large for the datatype of smallint i would get this error, my case, i am not doing anything except right click on the login name (any login name) to see the property of it... why would i get this type of error? -
Can any one help me how to solve this??? -

Thanks...

The largest value a smallint can hold is 32767

Do you have thousands of logins or users?

I only have about 15 logins.
The problem is now i don't know how to find out which database/ or tables or column have that data type issue - I expand the database folders on Enterprise manager and i don't see any of database. I still can connect to the database using the query analyzer...
how do i find the source of error? - PLEASE HELP.

Thanks

If this is just the one workstation experiencing this, you may just want ot uninstall and reinstall the SQL client (i.e. Enterprise Manager).
