First, tell us what the problem was (provide an error message or other
details).

You can configure detailed permissions in SQL Server 2005, granting
sysadmin server role is far too much. Grant the login only enumerated
permissions that are essential to perform certain tasks (simple insert
in your case). Here is an T-SQL statement to do it:

GRANT INSERT ON your_table TO some_user;

Of course there are alternate solutions - e.g. database role
(db_datawriter), but try that one I mentioned above.
