Question

When I first launch our application, a dialog asks me for the database/password. I clicked the box to save these results and not prompt the next time.

How do I get it to prompt me again?

Answer

The login information is stored in the registry. A value named SavePassword stores a '1' for Remember Password and a '2' for Automatic Login. Change the value back to '1' to re-enable the login popup dialog.

See the registry key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMertech Data SystemsDB DriversBTROracle Driverv4

HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMertech Data SystemsDB DriversBTRSQL Server Driverv4

If your driver version is prior to 4.2.0.1, you will need to use HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE instead of HKEY_CURRENT_USER
