Hi,
Ya,,,anyone would prefer making their database as secure.But since the question was for the begginers,I have given the default username and password.Later on,u may change it accordingly. In a stand alone PC,the user name and password remain the same,if u have installed the DB with default options.
Anyways,plz let me know if my message was helpful.Even I am a begginer.
Create the ODBC driver in system DNS tab.Don't create it in the User DNS tab.May b that will help.
Regards.....
