Password request

[mikebk]

I'm in the process of moving EA (8.0) into a new development environment (Windows Server 2003 R2, SQL Server) and am stopped by a password request when I try to open the project. This password is not the normal password I see while a project is opening on the old system. The new password request doesn't have the EA logo, the title is just Enter Password and it doesn't have a Remember UserID checkbox.

I have tried using the password that works in the old system. When I do this, nothing happens for a while then the dialogue reappears.

Would anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

Mike

A password prompt without a username is typically for the database connection.  Either the user/password specified for this connection is no longer valid, or perhaps the database is not currently accessible.  Check the details of your SQL Server connection and make sure that the data source, username and password are still valid.

The problem was apparently caused by a typo in the data source name! Strange that an invalid hostname should result in a password request.
