 DNS less Access Linked tables to SQL Server 2000

I have been using DNS less Linked tables with Integrated Security. They are
much better than requiring the user to have a DSN

They don't seem to work with SQL Server Security - does anyone use them?

What do your connection strings look like?  Something like

 "Driver={SQL
Server};Server=SQLServerName;Database=pubs;UID=sa;PWD=sapassword"

should work.

The OLE DB connection would look like:

"Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Data Source=SQLServerName;Initial Catalog=pubs;User
ID=sa;Password=sapassword"

Check Carl Prothman's page http://www.able-consulting.com/ado_conn.htm

He's got the appropriate strings for both ODBC and OLE DB for both trusted
and standard security, as well as a couple of useful links to MSDN related
to this.
