BUG #: 55770 (SQLBUG_70)

Expand all | Collapse all

SYMPTOMS

In a SQL Distributed Management Objects (DMO) program with .LoginSecure set to FALSE, the .Login and .Password properties are ignored and a trusted connection is made.

If login and password parameters are given with the .Connect, a standard connection is made when .LoginSecure is set to FALSE (as expected).

WORKAROUND

Specify login and password parameters with .Connect instead of setting them as .Login and .Password.

MORE INFORMATION

Here is sample code that demonstrates the problem and the workaround:

Private Sub Form_Load()

Set SQL7 = CreateObject("SQLDMO.SQLServer")

' Performs standard login

With SQL7
.LoginSecure = FALSE
.Connect "(local)", "sa", ""
Debug.Print .TrueLogin
.DisConnect

End With

' Makes trusted connection even though LoginSecure is FALSE

With SQL7

        .Name = "(local)"
        .LoginSecure = FALSE
        .Login = "sa"
        .Password = ""
        .Connect
        Debug.Print .TrueLogin
        .DisConnect

    End With

    Set SQL7 = Nothing

End Sub
