I am trying to help an in-house developer with his database. He has developed an Access front-end that links to SQL tables. The tables are linked using an ODBC DSN with SQL Server Authentication selected. WHen a user opens the databse, they get one of two
error messages, based on the user. THey eith get ODBC Call failed and can not go any further, or they get Connection failed, and the SQL Server login dialog, where they have to uncheck Trusted connection and enter the appropriate username and password. W
e want it to just authenticate based on the settings in the DSN without opening a logn box.
You can trace the calls using ODBC Trace to see exactly why the call
failed. Also, the developer's connection string may be being used and
could be stored in the system table. You'll need to modify this before
distributing the app.
Thanks,
