Sergey,
For security reasons how can we hide or encrypt User and Password (at least password info) in the connection string in the dbconnection.asp text file.
And would be great if can we do that all the time we generate a new project.
We have SQL Server 2000 DB
Thanks

Thanks for your answer Stealth, but it is not waht I am looking for.
I am talking about the connection string in the dbconnection.asp text file.
Thanks

Alberto,
to the best of my knowledge you cannot do this in ASP.
Connection string encryption is available in ASP.NET 2.0.

I have solved the problem by using DSN.
I created a local DSN in the PC ASPRUNNER is installed and another one in the server. I have crated a Loacl user in the server with the proper privilages as guest.
Work really good. Now there are no pages with user and pswords. Only DSN info.
I think is litle better than before
Thanks
