connecting sql server

i created a database, when i query a simple select statement , i get an
error:
"Cannot open database requested in login 'XYZ_Database'.
Login fails, Login failed for user 'sa''
But when i change , the database name to Northwind, it works.
i checked that user rights of 'sa' for XYZ_database and Northwind are the
same?
i get the same error, when i used integrated security to connect too.
what would be the case here?Hi,
It seems the database creator/owner might be some other user.
Execute the below command to check the database owner:-
sp_helpdb 'XYZ_Database'
If the owner is a non SA user , then change the database owner using:-
sp_changedbowner system procedure (Refer books online for information)
Thanks

user of the database seems to be sa; here is the properties of the database:
"XYZ_database 3.00 MB sa 7 Jun 21 2004 Status=ONLINE,
Updateability=READ_WRITE, UserAccess=MULTI_USER, Recovery=FULL,
Version=539, Collation=Latin1_General_CI_AS, SQLSortOrder=0,
IsTornPageDetectionEnabled, IsAutoCreateStatistics, IsAutoUpdateStatistics
80"
what else can be the problem?
