It has taken wee bit of tweaking and I [not knowing much about databases] think its working. When the app called Xalt comes up it lists the database connection when you click on it it switches the list to none, seems like an domain authentication prob. I assume that I have to be logged into the windows domain to overcome this. But I will play a bit more with it before I know for sure!
