Hopefully one of you kind and knowledgeable people out there know the solution for this:

Maximizer CRM 10 server running on XP Pro using SQL Server 2005 Express

All but one user can connect just fine - the one user who cannot connect gets the above error - however the above user does not provide credentials for the user MASTER but rather uses his own account - it authenticates fine with the MASTER account but when the user logs in as himself he gets the above error 3 times - then apparently everything is fine. However, he does get this error repeated 3 times each and every time he logs in.

I've uninstalled and removed Maximizer
I've uninstalled and removed SQL
I've tried every configuration known to man for the SQL ODBC connection - reset server info, alias info, named pipes to TCP/IP - etc...
All tests using the ODBC connection are successfull but nothing gets rid of this error.

I guess my question is - what happens during login that would prompt Maximizer to try to submit MASTER account credentials three times (then fails) then passes the users credentials (and passes)?
