HiThat looks like a pretty useful app.The only criticism I have is that the UI can be a little confusing. You seem to have a bunch of config dialogs where one would probably make the most sense.Also, could you include the option for integrated authentication, in a large environment it is easier to manage with NT groups than individual sql logins. The default is to try to connect with an sa login and a blank password. I hope YOUR servers don't have this  Damian |

| Hi,I've released a new version (Build 150) which has Windows Authentication as one of it's features.'sa' with blank password is only the default template, which I of course don't use on my real servers.Cheers,Doc |
