I created a table in the CMS database as I need a repository for some user
data. I need to connect to the database, do a select or insert query from a
web page. When I tried I get a login user failed error. I know I have the
correct user and password and the user is a dbowner in the database. I'm
wondering if there's a restriction in the CMS DB set-up to do this. Pls
advise. Thanks.

You should just create a new database on the SQL server just for your data.
If you start modifying the CMS database, Microsoft will not support any
problems that may (and probably will) occur.

Hi Pete,

never touch the MCMS database! That would break the Microsoft Support
Boundaries for MCMS.
You need to keep your tables in a separate database.
