Re: problem with Illustra on NT

Hi there, I have just installed Illustra on NT4.0 miadmin has to be setup up as to "log on as service", if you have not already done this. Apart from that, miadmin should be able to access any database within Illustra. You can alternatively set up a separate user to access the specific database, it just requires some fiddling.
