Changing ODBC password in MS Access

I have changed the passwords on our MySQL DB server for a few users.
I went in to the ODBC data sources configuration on their machines and
changed the passwords to the new ones.

However, every time they open the database that contains the linked
tables which use that ODBC data source, instead of using the password
configured in the data source it uses the old password which is saved
in the Access database somewhere. They have to retype the new
password when they try to open any of those linked tables after
starting up Access.

Is there any way to change the password that Access has stored for the
linked tables permanently short of deleting and relinking the tables?
I don't want to delete and relink the tables every time the passwords
change because then all the relationships go out the window as well.

How about using the Linked Table Manager to do your relinking?

Hi, I have a local user on our network running MS Access 2003 (on Win XP Home), which needs to connect to a Back-End MySQL DB on our Cobalt Qube 3 Server. I installed the correct software to run the Access on their Win XP OS, and installed the ODBC MySQL Driver 3.51. When I test the connection in the ODBC panel, CONNECTED ! Then I open MS Access, and great, the app works.

I have found info on this problem at MS, but they say this problem does not occur with SQL 2K and MDAC 2.6 SP2, yet I am still experiencing it: I have a SQL user specifically created to SELECT on 5 tables in one database. I have created an ODBC file DSN using that login/password. I create an Access DB, attempt to link to the five SQL tables using that DSN, using a trusted connection. The ODBC drivers ignore the users permissions, and...

Hi everyone, I was hoping somebody could assist me in this issue. I am quite a newbie to ODBC connections and was struggling to search for related topics. Here is my situation: I have a Access 2000 .mdb file which has several linked tables to a ODBC data source, namely an Oracle back-end. I have already setup the connctions to these back-end tables in the ODBC Administrator, and it works fine. When I view one of these tables for the...

Hello, I'm developping a java application which use an ms-access database via jdbc/odbc bridge. However, it seems that ms-access databases have to regularly been compacted (for indexes and page size). So how can I do it from java since I haven't got Access nor vb ? thank you :)

Hello All, Is there any way to close an ODBC connection via DSN without completely closing the Access front-end? I'm doing some testing with using Access as a front-end to Oracle 10g Express edition. When the user ID and password is entered on a form and after a successful connection it seems Access doesn't change the connection. Even if I enter an invalid user ID and/or password the connection continues to work.

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
