creating user and login problem

When I try to create user using ent manager in mssql2000 it gives me error that there is already such user.But it actualy doesn't exists.

How to solve this problem?

Hi,

did you check your logins by T-SQL?

Code Snippet

SELECT CAST(loginname AS CHAR(30)) AS loginname, sid, status, denylogin

FROM master..syslogins

ORDER BY sid

when you say User... i am not sure , whether u r mentioning Login or Database User. I assume that it is Database user. In that case check whether there is any database role of the same name. The user name has to be unique for both users and role.

if the below mentioned query returns row means there is some role exists in the datbase with the same name.

select *from sysusers where name='YourUserName' and issqlrole=1

Thanks for Answer

I didn't find any such role or user name in the database.

But When I connect through "sql server management tool" it lets me create the user.

but the ent manager of 2000 doesn't allow.
