now the database is residing on my computer but there are about 5 other computers in my office that need to access the database through the network. When I connect I keep getting this error where t says.

"login failed for user" NABBY/Guest

where nabby is the name of my computer.... i m getting ffrustrated. I have tried to give all the permissions to the database that i possibly can but still no success....
 
What type of database are you using?

You have to make sure that you have given them the proper permissions. This is definitely a permissions issue.

If you are using MS SQL you should just use windows authentication. This will make things much easier.

However, if you are using a local version of SQL Server Express this may change things a bit because you will have to set things up so that users can connect through a network.

In order to fully help you I will need to know the details of which version of SQL you are running and possibly so more details of your network setup.
