Custom User Logon

Purpose

A very simple example showing two methods of opening a connection at runtime.

• Open Connection (1st way): creates and opens the connection in a single call passing the UserID/Password values supplied.
• Open Connection (2nd way): creates the connection and opens it afterwards.

The example uses DAConnectionManager.Connections[0] as the connection it opens. Examining its ConnectionString value via the Object Inspector, you will see that it is set to:

ADO?Server=localhost;UserID=sa;AuxDriver=SQLOLEDB.1;Database=Northwind

Modify it as needed to access a different database. See FAQ37 for examples of connection strings.
