Delete a user. Please help

Hi,
I hve been tring to delete a Login User form SQL 2000 and cant do it
I go to Security, Logins, find the user, right click and delete.
I then get a option that says "Removing this login will remove all
associated database users (if any)".
I say yes to that and then...
Error 15174: Login 'XXXXXXX' is aliased or mapped to a user in one or
more databases- Drop the user or alisas before dropping the login.
Database name :DB1, DB2, DB·, etc.
How can I get past this!
Thanks.
George.Do what the error message say: Remove the users or aliases from the database as listed in the error
message.
If these are users, use sp_dropuser for if it is a SQL Server Login or sp_revokedbaccess if it is a
Windows Login.
If these are aliases (which i think it is, as EM doesn't remove them for you), use sp_dropalias.
The stored procedures I mentioned above are documented in Books Online.
