Hi, Has anyone managed to connect to MS SQL Server 6.5 using Zope ODBC? The ODBC Data Source Administrator does not have a place where you can specify a user/id and password. So selecting the data source does not seem to be enough. The clients that I use (isqlw) always ask for a userid and password. How do I provide this information to Zope, while at the same time using ODBC? When I try to connect it gives me the following message [ec is my data source name]: <strong>Invalid connection string: </strong><CODE>ec</CODE><br> <!-- sql.error None --> <!-- Traceback (innermost last): File C:\Program Files\zope19\lib\python\ZPublisher\Publish.py, line 879, in publish_module File C:\Program Files\zope19\lib\python\ZPublisher\Publish.py, line 595, in publish (Info: /Plutonia/manage_addZODBCConnection) File C:\Program Files\zope19\lib\python\Products\ZODBCDA\DA.py, line 115, in manage_addZODBCConnection (Object: Navigation) File C:\Program Files\zope19\lib\python\Shared\DC\ZRDB\Connection.py, line 139, in __init__ (Object: RoleManager) File C:\Program Files\zope19\lib\python\Shared\DC\ZRDB\Connection.py, line 168, in edit (Object: RoleManager) File C:\Program Files\zope19\lib\python\Shared\DC\ZRDB\Connection.py, line 212, in connect (Object: RoleManager) File C:\Program Files\zope19\lib\python\Products\ZODBCDA\db.py, line 164, in __init__ BadRequest: (see above) --> I got the following from the SQL server books online, and tried both.

A minimum complete SQL Server connection string has one of two forms: DSN=dsnname;UID=loginid;PWD=password; DRIVER={SQL Server};SERVER=server;UID=loginid;PWD=password;

I also tried using the Sybase connection string pattern, to no avail. So how do I go about specifying the user id and password to get a successful login when using ODBC? Help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance, Vincent --
