Re: Access97 ODBC connect string: disappearing password

Oracle's ODBC drive (sqo32_73.dll, ver 2.00.0301) does not offer the option to save password (as opposed to Microsoft's version and their own 16 bit version)

If found I could store the password in the registry:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ODBC\ODBC.INI\_DataSourceName_] "userID"="xxxxx"
"Password"="yyyyy"

Hope this helps.
