I suppose you could not put the password in the ODBC connection and put it in through the query, then encrypt the template.

Re: Password Protecting an Access ODBC connection
Can't tell you how many times I've seen users, usually sales types or order-takers, storing plain text CC numbers in memo fields and the like. Often this is a direct result of _not_ having stored the number in a more secure means somewhere in the system.

RE: Password Protecting an Access ODBC connection
If you're going to store CC#, even if you encrypt them, make sure that the machine goes into lockdown. Close all unused ports, don't run any software that you don't have too. Don't connect it to any of your other boxes (those could be comprimised and then could connect to the CC box) Also encrypt it with a password that is a string of random numbers and letters. Don't use regular words, backwards regular words, or words with numbers after it. There are programs that will crack those open in minutes. Just my $0.02. Also, if you're interested in just how much people that want to hack into your system can actually do, a good place to start is... http://neworder.box.sk __ Why Share?

RE: Password Protecting an Access ODBC connection
Out of curiosity, can you get the same effect by password protecting the Access database? If so, is it advisable to password protect the database or the ODBC connection?

RE: Password Protecting an Access ODBC connection
IMO, If they plan to store credit card numbers in a database *don't* do it in plain text. Especially if it's an Access database. What I would do at the very least is encrypt the card number before storing it and then decrypt it when you need to use it. This code will encrypt your card number: CC -> ECC-> 556274467958045A73655A77464D7E605F5110 #encrypted# to decrypt #decrypted# HTH, Joseph DeVore -Original Message- From: Duane Boudreau [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, December 21, 2001 11:23 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Password Protecting an Access ODBC connection once the odbc connection is created on the box, if anyone knows the dsn name they have access to the db. *I THINK* they are planning on storing CC numbers in the db.
