I have an Excel 2007 Report connection to our SQL Server Database.

DSN=miserBI;Description=MISERBI server;UID=ars;APP=2007 Microsoft Office system;WSID=HELP-3058;DATABASE=Misdb;AutoTranslate=No;Trusted_Connection=Yes

I want to update the UID=ars to use Windows authenication instead of user "ars". Can I do this or does there need to be specific user assigned to this connection??

I have a few people using this excel report, I do not want this otheres to be running the report under "ars" ID. This person has changed positions and I am worried if I end up deleting him from the database this excel report data refresh will no longer work.
