Was playing w/ DTSRunUI yesterday, noticed that it can generate a DTSRun
command line w/ all the parameters encrypted - eg,

    Normal: DTSRun /S Server /D Database ...
    Encrypted: DTSRun /~S {gibberish} /~D {gibberish} ...

Is there some trick like the tilde in the parameter (/~S) to clue an ADO
connection object into the fact the parameter is encrypted?

Sure, I can use the crypto API to encrypt User ID/Password prior to sticking
into an INI file/database record. Just wondering if this was something ADO
would do itself.
