Disable Saving Connection in ADP

Hi,

I build a connection in my start up code. Access Data Projects save
the last used connection properties. I was wondering if anybody knows
of a way to avoid allowing Access to connect to the database prior to
my code running. This application gets distributed to other
workstations and I don't want it carrying any logon information.

Thanks

Call the CurrentProject.OpenConnection-Method without any
parameters. That will remove the stored connection settings.

This seems to work thanks!

What I did with your tip was to include this in the Form.Unload event
of the main menu. What I would rather do is execute that line of code
when the application fires up. Unfortunately Access prompts for the
UserID/Pwd before my startup code runs and gets a chance to do
anything.


Sooo... I distribute the application with a "trusted connection" that
doesn't prompt for anything on startup, VBA code changes connection to
userid/pwd login with no prompting, exit app using your tip. No more
prompts! Thanks. (feels kinda wrong though)

Why do you bother!?

You asked exactly the same question in microsoft.public.access, and I fully
answered it there on 30th April. I can't help it if you are stupid enough to
post the same question in several places and then not bother to check them
all for replies. Idiot.
 
Sorry - I didn't realize that's what you were refering to. I posted on
the 27th here because I realized it would be a more appropriate place
for ADP questions. I got the answer here on the 28th so you can
probably guess I didn't go back to the other group 2 days later to see
if someone else responded.

Your response of "Answered elsewhere." sounded like a typical forum
"dis" by someone who thought I didn't do enough research before
posting. It wasn't clear.

Based on your recent response, I can't imagine someone like you
disrespecting a fellow delveloper. I got you wrong - sorry.
