I'm using Win ME. I'm trying to write a program in VB and connects to PG
with super-user account (or with a "connection user" with many rights). The
detail user rights are embeded in the VB program for detail control, so that
no one should know the connection user. Users only knows their own password
for that VB program, so their password is only useful with that VB program.

But if a user enable the mylog in odbc, the password (pwd) shows up there in
mylogxxxxx.

What can I do to hide the password?
