    Logging On

    I am connecting to a dbo database on our server. It has been a while since I have done this. My other project that connects to the same server but a different database doesn't ask for a pasword when I start the app. But my new app asks for the password for the database when it starts. What do I have to do to make a password free app?
    Thanks

    Remove the password from the database or feed the password to the database in your connection string.

    That depends entirely on what your current connection string is.
