Adding execute permission to stored procedures

Hi

I am currently using SQL server 2005 express edition for a website I have created using Asp.Net 2.

For this website I call stored procedures that I have created in the databse to return any page data. However, I keep getting error messages say that the login does not have execute permission for the stored procedure.

In Sql Server 2005 there does not seem to be an easy way to grant permissions to a stored procedure as you add them. I say this because when I used Sql Server 2000 I would just add the stored procedure, rigth click on it and grant permission to the user.

Now this does not seem to be the case with the new version of sql server and I was just wondering whether there is now a new, easy way of doing this.

If anyone can point me in the right direction on this...

I have managed to get this working by going into the properties of the users atached to the database, adding a list of stored procedures to the "scalables" area and individually ticking the execute checkboxs. However, when I return to add a new stored procedure, the list has disapeared. Is this a bug with Sql server 2005?

Thanking you in advance

A db owner can execute, alternatively you could add server roles to the login such as sysadmin may be overkill though

Function SetLoginsDbOwner()Dim strcmdAsString

strcmd = "exec sp_addrolemember N'db_owner', N'MyLoginName_IWantSPExecutePerm'"

Dim dcAsNew OleDbConnection(connstringL)Dim cmdAsNew OleDbCommand(strcmd, dc)Try

dc.Open()

cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()

Catch exAs OleDbException

Label3.Text = ex.ToString()

Finally

dc.Close()

EndTryEndFunction
