As I can not verify if you input is correct, why not just use the wizard to recreate the connection? Maybe you missed something needed for your connect or have another typo.

May you live in interesting times!

I have 3 database ODBC connection , one of them works fine with XUserId and XPassword (password is not blank)

2 of the others connection need XUserId but not XPassword

(passoword need to leave it blank)

CONNECT TO 'Vantaa Jeeves' (XUserId is SaINPLFMODdCWQZI, XPassword is KGeSWRBNFbYWWUC)

....

CONNECT TO Groningen (XUserId is eXQHBJVMQbbEHadJ XPassword is ""  )

...

CONNECT TO ArtecAirSU (XUserId is eXQHBJVMQbbEHadJ XPassword is ""  )

it means that when i load the data qlikview don't ask the password for Vantaa jeeves, but only for ArtecAirSU and Groningen, so i leave the password field still blank and i only press "ok" in attached icon

I'm facing the similar issue, but in my case, my data source is in DB2 and it uses Kerberos Authentication hence I need to leave the UserId and Password both Empty.

The connection works, however every time I reload the file I need to click "OK" in the connection prompt in order for it to continue.

Any idea on how to avoid the prompt and just connect without providing userID and password?

Thanks.
