multiple Login failed for user messages in event log

[Database Administrator]

My error log is full of login failed messages:

2008-05-16 19:46:19.19 Logon Login failed for user 'kziv'. [CLIENT:
192.168.16.24]
2008-05-16 19:46:19.20 Logon Error: 18456, Severity: 14, State: 5.
2008-05-16 19:46:19.20 Logon Login failed for user 'Admin'. [CLIENT:

2008-05-16 19:46:19.31 Logon Error: 18456, Severity: 14, State: 5.
2008-05-16 19:46:19.31 Logon Login failed for user 'kziv'. [CLIENT:
192.168.16.24]
2008-05-16 19:46:19.33 Logon Error: 18456, Severity: 14, State: 5.
2008-05-16 19:46:19.33 Logon Login failed for user 'Admin'. [CLIENT:
192.168.16.24]

I am getting one every few seconds but my users are not complaining on
access problems. One of the strange things is that I do not have a user
called 'Admin'.
My users are using an Access 2003 desktop app to connect to SQL the app uses
linked tables.

Perhaps you have a scheduled job(s) that's trying to connect.

Hi Sagi,
To let us better understand your issue, could you please first answer me
the following questions:
1. What is the version of your SQL Server?
You can run SELECT @@VERSION on your SQL Server to check this.

2. Did this issue only happen in your current Access 2003 database?
You can create a simple Access 2003 database with linked tables to
your SQL Server to see if you can reproduce this issue in other Access 2003
database.

3. Did you install the latest service pack to your Access 2003?
If not, you can install it from the following links:
Office 2003 Service Pack 3 (SP3)

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...049-3E13-433B-
B9D2-5E3C1132F206&displaylang=en
Description of the Access 2003 post-Service Pack 3 hotfix package:
December 18, 2007
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/945674/en-us

If you can reproduce this issue in a simple Access 2003 database, I
recommend that you mail it to me (changliw_at_microsoft_dot_com) for
further research.

Please feel free to let me know if you have any other questions or
concerns. It is my pleasure to be of assistance.
