I have set up CS SP3 on a server system and can access the business desk fro
m there.  When I try to access the business desk from a network computer, th
e right-hand side displays the default CS business desk page, the left-hand 
(menu) displays "You do not
have sufficient permissions to use Microsoft Commerce Server Business Desk. 
 Please contact your system administrator."  A Business Desk Error box also 
appears and displays:
"The Business Desk security database cannot be accessed."  With a number of 
0x80004005 and a Description of "Source:Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC D
riversDescription:[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name 
not found and no default driver spe
cified"

I am working with a client with an AUG 1 deadline.  It seems we've chosen th
e wrong e-commerce software.

You should make sure that you're not trying to use a trusted connection
(windows authentication) or that you've authorized the anonymous account to
use the SQL server.  Looks like BD can't get logged in.
