Passed In ODBC Connection String

Post by admin@secsol.co.uk »

If I pass an ODBC Connection string to a Report Designer the end user can view the string and see the user ID and Password.

Is it possible to prevent the end user from editing the string in some way as I don't want then to see that information?

Hello,

You can retrieve all necessary data in your code and provide it to the report as DataSet with the RegData() method.

Thank you.

Will this let the end user create there own data results using Sql connected to the ODBC driver using my connection string?

Hello,

Also, you can use Permissions for the Dictionary to hide the connection string:
