RE: Saving the username and password in the DSN
Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry
For security reasons, the user name and password are not stored in DSN's.
Anyone can access this information via the registry (for example,
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ODBC\ODBC.INI\DSN_Test123)
Copying the user name and password to the DSN would allow anyone to see
this information.
I don't think drivers even try to read this information from the DSN's even
if you did store it there.
I'm pretty sure you need to enter this information every time you connect.
