Ok I understand that, but let me give you some more info, I probaly didn't make myself clear. I am logged into windows as db2admin(DAS), I created a database called Test. Now in the control center I expanded the database Test and under User and Group Objects I added a new user for the database Test. I granted the privaleges in the first post. Now when I try to connect to the database under this new user it will not let me. First off their is no where to specify a password for this new user, so how do you know what it is? If I don't specify a password that is an error. If I can connect to this database I can then do everything I would like to accomplish, but just having trouble connecting. Any more Ideas???
