Hi Roger, We've run SpatialWare (4.5) on MS/SQL 2000 from both MIPro and MapXtreme 3.0 (MapX 5.0) without too many problems. And we're definitely not using "sa" to access MS/SQL from MXT either.
It may be a security/privilege problem you're dealing with. If the tables are owned by "dbo", sa will have access to them, but other users may not have adequate privilegies to do so. Older versions of SpW had a hardcoded need for some tables to be dbo owned, but newer versions may not have this deficiency (can't remember the exact specs). It may also be concerned with the MapX "unique primary index" problem, especially if you're accessing views. Renaming the primary index field to MI_PRINX in views may help you out. Remember that both tables and views alike need to be registered in MAPINFO_MAPCATALOG to be openable in MapX(treme). Best regards / Med venlig hilsen Lars V.

If so have you have ever tried to access tables from the database using connection strings within MapXtreme, MapX applications. My problem is that I cannot get MXT to load tables unless the logon account is "sa". In a web environment that is a big no no (it is the administrator account). Both old and recent versions of MXT seem to have problems when loading SQL Server DBMS tables.
