osql - creating a DB - permission problem.

Hi;
I am trying to create a database from the command line using osql and a .sql
file. If I create the database first in the enterprise manager and then run
it - it works fine. But if the database does not exist I get:
C:\src\RePortal\SqlScripts>"\Program Files\Microsoft SQL
Server\90\Tools\Binn\OS
QL.EXE" -S ARIEL -d WindwardPortal -E -i
\src\RePortal\SqlScripts\SqlServer.sql
Login failed for user 'THIELEN\dave'.
[SQL Native Client]Shared Memory Provider: The system cannot open the fi
le.
[SQL Native Client]Communication link failure
Cannot open database requested in login 'WindwardPortal'. Login fails.
The file SqlServer.sql starts with:
CREATE DATABASE [WindwardPortal]
GO
use [WindwardPortal]
GO
/****** Object: Table [dbo].[Datasource] Script Date: 11/16/2006
2:06:26
PM ******/
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Datasource] (
[datasourceId] [int] IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL ,
any ideas?

Cubicle Wars - http://www.windwardreports.com/film.htmSince the database has not yet been created. OSQL cannot set the database
context to that database with the "-d WindwardPortal" specification. You
can remove "-d WindwardPortal" since you have a USE following the CREATE
DATABASE.
Hope this helps.

>|||Hello,
Looks like the path for SQLServer.SQL is wrong. As a first step try login
using OSQL with out giving the database name and script name.
OSQL -S Servername -E
Thanks
