Hi!

Have anyone have seen this before?
When I use DB Scanner 4.0 against SQL-Server 7.0 and give the sa
password (14 char) that ends with ? (Example: qwertyuiopasd? )
The scanner does not start. Instead it gives a note that tells how to
use Db Scanner from the command line (same note that you get when you
type scan without any parameters in the command line)

Solution is to use sa password that does not end with ?

There might be another problematic characters also. I have not tested...
Is this something that should be fixed?
