You would have to check this in SQL server. There are different ways of configuring SQL access, personally I have created a user with limited rights that matches my Coldfusion login details i.e.
Coldfusion login username = wibble Coldfusion login Password = wobble In SQL server I then create the following SQL server login username = wibble SQL server login password = wobble I then specify which databases that user has permission to access. Without knowing exactly how you have SQL access configured i.e. windows authentification or mixed mode access it is difficuly to advise. To check whether you have a user login in SQL that matches your Coldfusion details you will have to use the SQL Enterprise Manager, click on the the SQL instance under SQL server group, select security and click on logins. You will then be able to see what users exist and also add new ones if needed.
