Hi thanks, I do have the rights - I am talking about scripts, so the forum database would be accessed by a user myforum with pass forumsecret. Would I have to add access rights to the other database so that the same user "myforum" can access it, or is there a better way. I am sort of thinking about giving these scripts read-only access to the extra database (which is actually system authentification) and implementing a separate update job running on the database machine that would not be accessible from the outside in case one of the scripts needs to make changes Regards W.
