Appendix C - Database Connection Strings

Although a database connection string can be typed manually it is easier to make use of the “Data Link Properties” dialog shown below to configure the connection string.

There are many options available when configuring a database connection string. Please press the “Help” button in the lower right hand corner of the dialog for additional help.

The list of “OLE DB Providers” shown in the screen shot to the left is dependent on the number of OLE DB drivers installed on the system. The list you see may differ.

Word of warning

The "SQL Server Native Client" provider does not store the password in the connection string - even though the "Allow saving password" option is selected. This is a known bug/limitation of the provider and not of ScannerVision.
