If you missed Lesson 1, watch it here: https://youtu.be/Q6vEx1e36ZE Full course here: https://599cd.com/SQLSAB01 This is Lesson 9 for my new SQL Server for Microsoft Access Users! IMPORTANT: The entire Beginner Level 1 series will be posted FREE on YouTube (multiple lessons, full Level 1 foundation). This is not a teaser. In lesson 9, we discuss how your Windows logon impacts authentication, security, and permissions when connecting Access to SQL Server, especially in small office environments. I explain why using a local Windows account is recommended over a Microsoft account for easier and more predictable SQL Server authentication. We will walk through the step-by-step process of switching from a Microsoft account to a local account, review what changes you might encounter, and demonstrate how SQL Server recognizes your new Windows login. Finally, we address common questions about credentials, clarify trade-offs, and highlight the benefits of this setup for secure database connections.
