Careful, you'll end up having to spend all day building stored procedures and Crystal Reports for this person. Make sure she only has SELECT permissions. Run profiler to see who is hoggin what resources. You might be the culprit with all your Enterprise Managers and Query Analyzers. . . . . .

I have a developer here who LOVES to use MS Access to create queries and
reports in. She links tables from my SQL2005 database in it and goes to
town. I know I've read on this forum that there is a performance hit
involved with this practice (I think), so would like to take information to
my boss to help him discourage her from this practice.



What say ye?



If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know them.
