The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Access denied when connecting to SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition database from ASP script

Asked by mike99c in SQL Server 2005, Databases Miscellaneous

Hello,
I have a SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition database on a Windows 2003 IIS6 server.
I have taken a copy of another database from another server and restored it within this server. The previous SQL server database was an Express edition.

When I try to run my ASP test connection script, the page hangs rather than display a confirmation statement.

I ran a trace of all the server events using Filemon and the following line kept appearing:
22:36:03 PM       w3wp.exe:6100                OPEN    C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Shared\instapi.dll   ACCESS DENIED MyComputerName\IUSR_theiusrname

Although I have only copied databases between SQL server Express editions, I have never experienced this issue before. I have never had to apply permissions to any folders to get the connection to work.

The database has a user which has full owner permission. This is how I have always done it in the past. I have attached the ASP connection script so you can see what I am trying to do.

Many thanks
