I am connecting to a database to try to retrieve a report someone has written. The best way for me to do this is (i believe) through a pass thru query. I have pasted the SQL from the their report into my pass thru query and it works fine, the problem is everytime i run this query i need to do the ODBC settings and enter the username and password to access the external database. Obv this is no good when clients are using the database. <br />
Is there a way around this?<br />
<br />
Many Thanks,<br />
