prompting for password when linking a ODBC database

[deamen]

LS.

When I link a table to a ODBC database on a UNIX-server.
I type in a username and password and choose the option: Rember login and password.
Next time when I open the document Access prompts me again for the password.

I've found this article on the MSDN library:

http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q275/1/11.ASP

So this means it's a known problem for Access 2002 in combination with Win2k.
I just wonder if it's a known problem for Access 2000?

I hope anyone can give me an answer.

Thanx in advance,

Deamen

I think your post was deeted by the forum-admin because it was off-topin, but it was a good joke

About my problem:
I think the problem I discribed above is aplying to the Access 2000 in combination with Win2k.
I put the problem @ our problem manager(ITIL) and he bounched it back within a few day that Microsoft haven't got a solution for the problem and that is a known problem for Access 2002 and probaly for Access 2000 too./
I hope they gonna fix this problem soon, because in shared databases it's not a good security check.
All of the readers(of the database) must know the login for the linked Unix database.

Maybe there's still a good solution
