In 2005 the security login will not allow me to add a user, database role, application role or schema manually. If I use a Transact-SQL in Query Editor to create a Login with a password, it said it was successful yet The T-SQL added my login as an application role is this correct? and why can I not add manually? is there another function that must be performed first?
I am very new to the environment but know 2000 very well and miss it being so user friendly.

How are you adding the login?
Can you post the code.

It's odd because create login is used to add a login and create application role to add an application role.

>> know 2000 very well and miss it being so user friendly.
It's just because you're familiar with it. You'll find it difficult to move back after using v2005 for a while.

Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
DTS can be used in a similar way.

OK I am going to query editor and CREATE LOGIN <login name> WITH PASSWORD = '<password>' : GO
I was trying to right click on securities which gives me 4 options user, db role, app role, schema. I don't mind the options the server will not allow any that I click on manually. I check the other logins and mine is set up exactly like theirs so that makes me wonder why the others are added and mine is not. Also when I go to online books I am doing exactly what it tells me to do. Could it be a permissions issue perhaps since I am not the TOP DBA here?

In 2000 there was just a setup period...

You are looking in a database but creating a login which is a server object.
Minimise the databases and you should see security just below it - double click on it and you shuold see logins and server roles. Your created login should be under logins.
