Re: Question about saving user name and password

Hello,

After I re-install the psqlodbc driver, I can find the postgresql driver
in odbc. However the same problem persists ... I can't find anywhere to
store the username and password.

Then, instead of reading the linked tables, I use ADO's connection
string to make the database connection, through which I provide the user
name and password in the codes. This solves my problem.

Thank you for your assistance.
