We have code that has been using MSDE/SQL Server successfully for years,

system, the SQLConnect fails, and we get an error code that seems to

indicate "The value specified for the argument UserName or the value

specified for the argument Authentication violated restrictions defined

by the data source.".  

We can connect via pgadmin to the remote system, so we believe all the

little .conf files should be correct, but can't get in

programmatically.  Any pointers on where to look?  

Are the host your running your SQLConnect and the host pgadmin the same?  If not, you probably need to edit your pg_hba.conf file (in your data directory) to allow connections from the host your code is running on.
