Excel VBA to SQL Server ADODB Connection - Prompt for User ID and Password
18,832
If you use the ado db.connection
you can according to this vba express post, code extract:
Dim dbConnectStr As String
Set con = New ADODB.ConnectiondbConnectStr = "Provider=msdaora;Data Source=" & "Oracle_Database_Name;"
con.ConnectionString = dbConnectStr
con.Properties("Prompt") = adPromptAlways
con.Open dbConnectStr 'ConnectionString
I've also found you may need to set the Prompt
property to adPromptComplete
.

Excel VBA
The following ADO DB Connection string works and fetches data from the database into Excel
Const rspADO As String = "Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;" & _ "Persist Security Info=False;" & _ "Initial Catalog=MyDatabase;" & _ "Data Source=118.aaa.yy.xx;" & _ "User ID=Username;Password=password;"
How do I prompt the user for input of Username and Password (at runtime) using the Data connection prompt (and not the Inputbox or a Userform in Excel)?
Thanks in advance for the help.
