Re: Database Logins being removed

Hi Chris,
Actually, I can't see this happening in a Toolkit application. I've done
a migration with Options.IncludeDependencies and Options.IgnorePermissions
set, and I don't get an sp_addlogin in my script. Can you give that a try
and see if you get the same results?
Thanks,
Brian Donahue

FYI -- I believe that this problem was fixed in Bundle version 3.15.
