SYMPTOMS
When a user attempts to GRANT ALL to a stored procedure, the permissions can fail to be applied. No errors are reported; SQL Server simply does not give permission to the stored procedure. Once this happens to a stored procedure, it will always happen, and GRANT ALL will never work for that stored procedure.



WORKAROUND
To grant permissions to a stored procedure, use GRANT EXEC instead of GRANT ALL.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft SQL Server version 6.5. This problem was corrected in the latest Microsoft SQL Server U.S. Service Pack. For information on obtaining the Service Pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (without the spaces):
