Hi,
i am trying ti build a win forms application with vb 2010
and have a .mdb database which is password protected and is a data source in app which means connection string is read only and if i want to change it, i should modify connection in server explorer.
the problem is i modify connection (set password) in server explorer and then test the connection and it say there is no problem and works ok. i can change query and everything in vb.
but when i try to build the app there is this error :

VB

{"Not a valid password."}

tried persist security info true and false but no luck
i am 100% sure the properties of connection are right but the problem is vb doesnt put password in the connection string

what should i do ?
tnx in advance

found it !
u should modify connection on start of the program like this :

VB

Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load

    My.Settings.Item("ConnectionStringName") = "TheConnectionString;"

End Sub
