hi, I am having a major problem deleting and recreating a user. I am getting an error message, see attached, when try to convert the user before adding them back. I obviously deleted the user from Maintain links between... and from Maintain Database Users before trying to add it back. I have checked the users on the SQL server and the user does not exist there so am at a bit of a loss why the error message states the user already exists.

thanks,

Mike

Did you check if the user exists in the $BSE/lib/*/*users file?

Looks like the user is already existing only on database level.

Can you check with database tool if the user exist or just drop the user on database level.

if you rebember the old password please try to keep the same while creating the user again.

Thanks

Hi all, thanks for the reply, it seems the problem was in the $BSE/lib/*/*users file. the user was being removed in BaaN and in SQL server but for some reason was not being deleted from the file. It all sorted out now thanks. Mike
