Microsfot SQL connection FAILS only post deployment - Works in designer???

[LittleHelp]

My (MS) SQL connection is acting strange, I can validate connections but it says the username accessing the DB within the Metastorm site it fails… how does that even make sense?

Basically:

In terms of connections everything checks out, but when it does a query it fails.

How is this even possible?  It is the same user credentials that are used in the designer?  ANYONE???

Thanks.

Check to see if you have permissions to the tables you are trying to query.

Check that the account you deploy from has DBO rights on the database. This is required in version 9. See:

Yes, nothing has changed other than the update.  To reconfirm i've logged in with the credentials and everything checks out.

Bingo! (ish).... I found the Metastorm problem.

…the logon should be: '?\?' not '??'. However this is nothing I can control, not sure how to fix it.
