Thanks for the advice. It's not a web app. It's a windows-based app. I have done what you are talking about in web apps by placing the connection credentials in the webconfig file, but this particular app does require the user to connect with their credentials.

Are you really having your web app log in with each individual user ID ? Recipe for trouble..
Most web server apps tend to use a single pre-defined database connection and do the actual user check some other way.
That way the web app DB connection is always consistent.

Hello,
I finally figured out what was going on or at least I think I did. It turns out that security was tightened a little bit more in our shop. The app was attempting to execute a stored procedure after log on and access to stored procedures is now limited. I guess that explains why I was able to log on but the end user could not.
Fortunately, there is an HA system available where the restrictions are not enforced (at least for now) so I redirected the app to go the HA system and now everything is working normally. This resolves the end user issue but that doesn't explain why the error at the connection was coming back as a blank string with no description at all.
In any case, thanks for the suggestions.
Antonio Mira
