Thanks for your response. The issue I have is that the password for our
database is stored either in the ODBC registry or within our ASP page as
plain text. One option I have is to encrypt the password in the database
connnection string and have a function with a key in a external file that
I wondered if anyone else had any thoughts on this issue ?
Cheers

Hi Jay,
This was my thought. Maybe encrypt the pasword in the DNSless connection
and have a key somewhere within a external file. However if someone found
the key in this file they could still access it. Any other thoughts on how
to overcome this ?
Cheers
