Passwording on Links to SQL Database

V

Van T. Dinh

If you use DSN for your linked Tables, check the settings
of your DSN in the Data Source (ODBC) of your Windows set-
up.

OTOH, "SA" should NOT be used for accessing SQL Server
data. Most SQL books advise against using "SA" for
anything other than SQL Server administration. You can
create a Application User in SQL Server and use the SQL
Server authentication rather than Windows NT
authentication.
