Hi

I have a question about quering an external database in excel. Everytime
when I refresh the data, I need to enter the user name, password & database
name, is there a way to store the password info in the file so that i dont
need to type it everytime.

Thank you for yours kindly helps!!

If you have set up your source database as an ODBC you can enter
username and password during the ODBC setup process. There is a
checkmark box to save these values so you don't have to enter them
every time you access the ODBC source.

This also holds true for MSQuery. When you setup a new database
source to use in Excel there is a checkbox to "Save my user ID and
password in the data source definition" that you can use.
