Plain BlackmailHow is the vendor connecting to your environment? VPN? Disable the VPN account. Also, analyze your logins and see which ones are used by your app. If possible, change the password on the application account (I hope that account is not SA), and by all means change the SA password. But before you do all that make sure you're not breaching your Software License Agreement by monkeying with all this stuff.|||Refer to your other http://www.dbforums.com/t990068.html post about enabling SQL Trace.

Ensure to tighten the security on SQL by using secure password for SA account.|||I mean that when i set up the trace,each operation that we do on the vendors software

I need to track where it effecting on sql tables

Can a vendor disable that tracking , or i have it set wrong or something

I dont have a vpn connection for the vendor open

so he can't enter without our approval

For trace is not user friendly on 6.5|||Ensure you're using correct password to connect SQL database.
There is no setting where you can bypass the Trace on SQL Server.
