asked on Error logging into SQL server from my program: Could not find a login matching the name provided. [CLIENT: 192.168.1.20]18456, Severity: 14, State: 5.
On a Server 2008 R2 install sits a Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 (SP1) - 10.50.2500.0 (X64) that was kept running only to access previous medical records as the company migrated to new software and servers, but medical records need to be kept for 7 years. on 2/15/21 I see this in the log file, Running SQL Server 2005 SP2 to SQL Server 2008 upgrade script, and a large series of events. Fast-forward a few months and an Audit pops up plus a product recall and the old database and program need to be accessed. Now when a user attempts to log into the program the user gets rejected for not being a user and the log records the error above.
The original software company wants extortion money to get their old software up and running and I have been tasked with trying to get the software going. Can someone help me get around this error?
I'm thinking permissions and or groups... I am NOT an expert in any of this!!

So...I have progress... and I got a user in, but I don't know how I did it.
I did a few things.
I found that I have orphans because of the restore...
I used both:
I do notice that some users are in the Database /security / users
and some are in security / log ins below.
I tried so much stuff i don't know what did it, but now i need to repeat it.
i used this:
Use [YourDbName] ;
GO
exec sp_change_users_login @Action='Report' ;
GO
which gets me a big list of users, the user i have working is not on this list...
now what?...
I tried the 2 sp_change_users_login... but I'm not getting results...
delete and re-add perhaps?

I wound up finding orphans and repairing those who would repair.
Others I needed to remove entirely from each database, then add back in along with add them to the sql security.
Great tips by both folks pointed me to my solutions.

2. If (1) is successful: Run SSMS on the client computer. Try to connect to SQL Server. If successful then the issue is with the application. If fails try to install the SQL Client for SQL 2008 R2 on the client's computer.
3. Try to setup compatibility level on SQL Server to SQL 2005. If it does not help then the issue is in the Application.
4. Create ODBC connection to SQL Server. Try to use ODBC connection in your application. Try different versions of MS SQL Server drivers for ODBC.
5. As far as I remember between SQL 2005 and 2008, the ADO access was replaced with OLE access. It could be the reason of the connection failure. It could be the thing that the vendor should change in the application. In this case you have to pay the price.
