| HI,I know that it is a silly question.I need to use ODBC driver to connect sql server 2000 from another application, so when ODBC is connecting database, are the userid/password which is typed in ODBC encrypted or not? In other words, is it secure for userid/password when the connection is built? Thanks for any ideaFlora |

| The ODBC adminstrator applet where you create DSNs does not keep the password at all. The Username is kept merely as a convenience, but I have found that it causes more confusion than conveneince. |
