I'm having a devil of a time and I can use some assistance. I have a client who has two linked tables from a SQL database. He updates tables in a linked Access database from these two SQL tables each weekday through update queries. When he opens one of the tables or a query for the first time, he must always provide his userid and password. We want to automate the program and so we need to setup a method of automatically logging into the SQL database so that the queries will run without having to manually supply the userid and password. He is in Iowa and I'm in Washington so I don't have access to his SQL db to try and figure this out. Here's the script he get's after he creates a udl file and converts it to a txt file: [oledb] ; Everything after this line is an OLE DB initstring Provider=MSDASQL.1;Password=dealer;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=sales;Data Source=Dealer Information I got the DSN from the Description property of one of the attached tables. Here is the full Description. ODBC;DSN=Dealer Information;Description=dealer ;APP=MicrosoftR Access;WSID=QUAYDW;DATABASE=dealer_master;Network=DBMSSOCN;Address=sqlsr vb,1433;TABLE=dbo.DEAL John V.
