When i open the connection properties of the database the values are all greyed out and cannot be modified. &nbsp;I tried creating a new db from scratch but it just defaulted to Windows Authentication. &nbsp;Just learning all this so am probably missing something simple.

I have developed a database with an ms access 2003 front end and SQL 2005 tables. &nbsp;The users will sometimes be required to access the database on a shared pc. &nbsp;However this pc uses a generic network account and i do not want the user to log it off and log in as themselves each time they need to access the system. &nbsp;The database is set up using Windows authentication and i am unable to change this to mixed mode (unsure why!)<br />
<br />
Is there any way i can set up the database so that it prompts the user to login using their windows login. &nbsp;Therefore not letting random users on the shared pc access confidential data

Microsoft SQL Server 2005 is a suite of relational database management system (RDBMS) products providing multi-user database access functionality.Component services include integration (SSIS), reporting (SSRS), analysis (SSAS), data quality, master data, T-SQL and performance tuning. It includes support for managing XML data and allows a database server to be exposed over web services using Tabular Data Stream (TDS) packets encapsulated within SOAP (protocol) requests.

Databases are organized collections of data, most commonly accessed through management systems including schemas, tables, queries and processes that allow users to enter and manipulate the information or utilize it in other fashions, such as with web applications or for reporting purposes.

Microsoft Access is a rapid application development (RAD) relational database tool. Access can be used for both desktop and web-based applications, and uses VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) as its coding language.
