Hello,

Does anybody knows why when I restore a database, some users are not able to login? How can I resolve this problem? Please advice.

Thanks

Because it's restored from another server and the logins have a different sid so don't map to the database users.
(or maybe the logins don't exist on this server?)

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

Look at the sp_change_users_login procedure. It will map the old user in the database to the database logon while still preserving all permissions assigned at the database level.
