I'm not 100% sure about this but I think that the password is stored in the registry, not the database, in ODBC.INI<br />

I just used the SQL Server Migration Assistant for Access to upsize my Access database back end to SQL Server. &nbsp;The password to the linked tables was saved in Access, so that when you open the database, no password is required. &nbsp;However, I would like a password to be required (a SQL Server user-based password, not an Access database password). &nbsp;How do I remove the saved password from the database so that it asks for a user and password when the database is opened?<br />
<br />
I know I could disconnect and reconnect the tables, opting to not save the password, but that would require me to create a DSN, and I prefer to &nbsp;have this be DSN-less.<br />
<br />
Thanks!

Remove Saved Password for Linked Table

Microsoft Access is a rapid application development (RAD) relational database tool. Access can be used for both desktop and web-based applications, and uses VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) as its coding language.

Microsoft Access

Microsoft SQL Server 2005 is a suite of relational database management system (RDBMS) products providing multi-user database access functionality.Component services include integration (SSIS), reporting (SSRS), analysis (SSAS), data quality, master data, T-SQL and performance tuning. It includes support for managing XML data and allows a database server to be exposed over web services using Tabular Data Stream (TDS) packets encapsulated within SOAP (protocol) requests.
