I'm getting an intermittent error when trying to access a SQL 2000 database with a Windows XP machine. This XP machine is authenticating to a 2000 DC. The error is a file access error and is as follows File (dbo.TApptNote) could not be opened. Error: Cannot generate SSPI context (S1000). Usually if the machine is rebooted the error will not occur when trying to access again, until later in the day. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
 
Hi There

Check your MDAC version. Ver2.6 always tries to use NT Authentication. (hense SSPI errors) Try using another MDAC version. Version 2.7 has support for XP (I am nearly sure). I know that they fixed the problem in ver 2.6 sp1. Bernadette
 
Hey Leap did you ever find a resoloution to this problem as I'm experiencing it now on a new machine I set up today?
 
Thanks for your replies guys.....

By way of a follow up, I discovered that this was a connectivity issue as described in another post on this subject.

Check that the connection string etc is OK as otherwise the problem may be due to this, as was the case with me.
