RE: Informix CLI 32 and Access
Simone could not stop MS Access asking for a password with Informix CLI 32 even after setting it in SETNET32. Niraj Sinha said to set user and password in the ODBC driver setup. Simone said this failed on 25 PCs. Falco asked how Access was connecting. Alex Bernaards said to tick the remember password option when attaching the external table in Access. No confirmed solution.

SEt your user/passwd in the ODBC driver setup and it would work. We have that setup in atleast 10 PCs in our office.

Why? I set the password in the SETNET utility but access still asking me the password!!! I have installed on the pc the 16 bit version on setnet (setnet.exe) also. Is this the rason?

This don't work on my PC, and in other 25 pc of my lan!!! If you use the informix/cli you know that the password must be setted un the SETNET32.EXE utility that don't work: don't "remember" the password...

Hi Simone. How do you you connect Access ( or plan to connect ) to the tables you want to use ? /Falco
Hi Simone, When you attach a new external table within MS-Access you get the option to mark the "remind password" field. Maybe mine explation isn´t okay, because i use the dutch version of MS-Access, but i know for sure that you have to do it within MS-Access. Ofcourse your setnet setttings must be okay!
