I posted the message "Securing my password when
connecting." I think I got some insight in the last hour
about the security of a connection. Please correct me if
I'm going astray...

My connection code in ASP/VBScript ...

   Set Conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
   Conn.Open "PROVIDER=MSDASQL;" etc

...is executed on the same server as the SQL Server. Does
this mean that the connection string is not exposed to
anybody else, because it never goes out on the internet?

I'm still looking for a way to get SQL Server to prompt me
for a userid and password when connecting.
