[AccessD] Globally logging onto a SQL Server db

Just add the userid and password info to the DSN and you should be home
free.

Subject: [AccessD] Globally logging onto a SQL Server db


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
