1. Not sure if there is a way to globally change them apart from going through your programs and manually changing each one individually. The best is to start developing with this in mind and set the properties with these parameters before developing. That way each time you create a search/update/delete etc. it will use the variables specified. To do this right click on the DSN in your ODBC list and set the deployment variables there. Then each time you create a new search/update/delete action it will use those variables.
2. For development it uses the name and password it asks you for when connecting to the datsource for the first time (you can optionally specify that Tango remembers this so that it does not ask you everytime). For deployment the default is to use the same user and password as the development machine unless you tell it otherwise as in 1 above.

I have files that were developed on a server with different DSNs to deployment. Anyway of changing them globally without running them through teh tango editors. And my third Where does wiTango get teh username and passwords it need to access the DB, does it get them from the ODBC or does it store them somewhere Cheers Niall On Thu, 16 May 2002, Trevor Green wrote: ->You can specify DSN Name, user and password using Tango variables.
