[dba-SQLServer]SWAP DBs

Is this a general question, or do you know the list of possible
connections in advance? If the latter, just create a specific connection
to each, then examine the strings. You can write a SELECT CASE block to
deal with them in a few seconds. If the former, create a couple of
connections to various alternatives and examine the connection strings.
It's not difficult to parse them. Look for semi-colons and keywords. You
might want to write the results into a table to eliminate future parsing
of the string (i.e. every time the user "creates" a new connection, you
parse it, write its pieces to the table and thereafter use that).

I need to be able to swap into different databases from Access.

Anyone have an example of swapping the connection to point to another
SQL Server DB
