I have IDS 7.3 TC7 and an ODBC client (using CLI2.8) running on the same NT machine. I want IDS to authenticate the user from the NT user name, but without specifying a password. e.g: Connect="DSN=MyDSN;UID=NTUserName;PWD=;" This does not work. It pops up the ODBC driver prompt window, where I have to enter the password. I know I can save the password using the ODBC administrator, but I don't like it. My NT passwords change on a regular basis. Is it possible? Thanks Bashar Chalabi Card Tech Ltd, London
