| You have to work with them and let them change their code. Never use sa in any app. |

just change the password and let them fix the app. hardcoding an SA password in the application code is the stupidestthing you can do in development. maybe one or two should get fired  _______________________________________________Causing trouble since 1980blog: http://weblogs.sqlteam.com/mladenpSSMS Add-in that does a few things: www.ssmstoolspack.com <- new version out |
