How can I add a logon ID as a system administrator in SQL Server 6.5? In 7.0 you can go into logins, properties, server roles, and then check system administrator. I don't see anything like this in 6.5 though. Any advise?

You can't! In 6.5, other users or logins cannot have SA rights. You can alias a user as DBO on a database so they have rights within the DB.

Time to upgrade? Terry Broadbent
