Hi,

I am trying to install version 4.8.2 for the first time using the install files & am getting the following error. I have verified the login by logging on to a machine as the user opening sql2005 & opening the database with no errors.

Please help

Select Database:

SQL Server 2005 (Express) File SQL Server 2000/2005 Database

Server:		Enter the Name or IP Address of the computer where the Database is located. (if using Oracle enter the Data Source (SID))
Database:		Enter the Database name
Integrated Security:		Check this if you are using SQL Server's Integrated Security, which means you will be using your Windows account to access SQL Server. If you are using SQL Server Express then you will most likely need to check this option. If you have been given a UserId/Password to access your Database, leave this unchecked, and provide the UserId/Password combination.
User ID:		Enter the UserID for the Database
Password:		Enter the Password for the Database
Run as db Owner:		Check this if you are running the database as Database Owner - if left unchecked you will be running as the User ID specified
Object Qualifier:		Enter an optional "prefix" to use for all your database objects - this helps ensure that there are no object name clashes.

This is the format for a Windows account, not a SQL account.  Try without the DOMAIN\ preceeding it if this is truly a SQL security account.
