Administration" tell me to Create a New User Account in the 'Active
Directory Users and Computers' application. But when I search Win XP Pro for
this filename, it can't find it. I started AddPrograms and clicked on
everything that I didn't install originally. Still search could not find it.
What am I overlooking or doing wrong? Thanks in advance for any help. Jim

If your SQL server is running on an XP machine that is not part of a
domain, you will want the Local Users and Groups segment under
Administrative Tools (or under Computer Management, same thing.)|||Thank you Ross. Now how do I tell if my XP Pro is, or is not, part of a
domain? This stuff is all new to me. TIA, Jim.

Control Panel, the System applet. Go the Computer Name tab. If it says
Workgroup under "Full computer name", you are not in a domain. If it says
Domain followed by the domain name, you are in a domain.
If you have your machine, and not connected to anyone else's, you are
very likely not in a domain.
If you are in a domain, you might have to see your system administrator
to create that user.

This makes sense as my LAN includes only my PC and my daughter's PC
upstairs. Thanks for the help and have a good day. Jim Richards
