Using the Access database window.
In VBA Code ... I use a 1 record table called SetupGeneral to store various parameters like SQL Login information. Then use the DLookup function in code to get parameters when needed as shown below.

Dim strSQLServerHost As String
Dim strSQLDatabase As String
Dim strSQLLogin As String
Dim strSQLPswd As String
Dim strSQLConn As String
strSQLServerHost = DLookup("[SQL_SERVERHOST]", "SetupGeneral")
strSQLDatabase = DLookup("[SQL_DATABASE]", "SetupGeneral)
strSQLLogin = DLookup("[SQL_LOGIN]", "SetupGeneral)
strSQLPswd = DLookup("[SQL_PSWD]", "SetupGeneral)
'Build the SQL Server Connection String
strSQLConn = "ODBC;Driver={SQL Server};Server=" & strSQLServerHost & ";Database=" & strSQLDatabase & ";Uid=" & strSQLLogin & ";Pwd=" & strSQLPswd & ";"ET
