I can't find any option to use "DriverNoPrompt" in ADO, only DAO, unless you mean in the OPTION= part of the connection string. Originally I had OPTION=35, I've tried OPTION=51 (adding 16 which should disable any prompts), but its just the same. > > You can also disable the prompt during the failed connection > from the DSN using the option 'Don't prompt on connect'. > > And as far as hidden dialog, am not sure how does that come > in to picture as we use XP and 2000 for all internal > testing.

Yes it is there - alt-tab brings it to the front (and the "Don't prompt on connect" checkbox is set when I use OPTION=51).
