asked on Access 2013 SQL login error to ODBC SQL database
Wrote a program in Access 2013. 32 bit. Had ODBC connections (System) named MaM connected with sql name 'test' and pw 'testpw'. Accessed the data on the development computer. Windows 7 Pro. I installed the Access 2013 runtime program on a Windows 8.1 system. Setup the 32 bit ODBC connection with the same as above. When I try to use the program when it accesses the data from the SQL server via the ODBC connection it fails with login failure. It refers back to my AD login on the Window 7 computer. I don't know what I did wrong but I really need to fix the issue because I have ten other computers to get this to work on. Right now it works on two Windows8.1 computers. It just stopped on this one. Any ideas?

It also says "login from untrusted domain and cannot be used with Windows Authentication" I didn't use Windows auth.
Generally in these sorts of issues, you may have clicked the Use trusted connection option (that implies Windows Authentication).
Personally, I use a dsn-less connection - no dsn to worry about - setup one database and distribute - no connection setup needed on each machine - its ready to go.
You do need VBA to start with to do the connections.

It's possible to post a screen shot of the ODBC configuration?
And also how are you connecting from Access?

I have never written a Public Function. Where would I put this function for it to run?
In the modules part of the database (you are using the desktop version of Access 2013?)
