[dba-SQLServer] Trusted_Connection

Hi all

I was about adjusting some code for setting the connection string for SQL Server.
The code replaces all the {n} strings:

    Const cstrConnect   As String = _
        "ODBC;" & _
        "DRIVER=SQL Server;" & _
        "Description=Brand name;" & _
        "APP=Microsoft(r) Access;" & _
        "SERVER={0};" & _
        "DATABASE={1};" & _
        "UID={2};" & _
        "PWD={3};" & _
        "Trusted_Connection=False;"

Did you notice the error here?

I didn't, and it took me quite a while with popping messageboxes about "Trusted connection failed" including wasted searching time with faulty answers to find out why.
Because it must read:

        "Trusted_Connection=No;"

Oh well. Details are important.
