Connection for windows authorization

I have a vb script that uses odbc.connection that connects to the sql
server, snippet as shown:
szADOConnObjID = "ADODB.Connection";
set pADOConnObj = CreateObject(szADOConnObjID);
// Create the SQL string to complete the connection
szConnString = "driver={" + svDriver + "};";
szConnString = szConnString + "server=" + svServerName + ";";
if (g_bWinAuth = FALSE) then
szConnString = szConnString + "database=master;";
szConnString = szConnString + "uid=" + svUserName + ";";
szConnString = szConnString + "pwd=" + svUserPassword;
else // windows authorization
szConnString = szConnString + "Initial Catalog=master;";
szConnString = szConnString + "Integrated security=True";
endif;
// Open the ADO Connection
pADOConnObj.Open(szConnString);
I have no problem with the login with uid-pwd. However, if I use windows
authorization, I got the following error:
Microsoft OLE DB Service Components (0x80040E21)
Multiple-step OLE DB operation generated errors. Check each OLE DB
status value, if available.
Is my connection string correct?
TIA.Hi
I assume you can use a trusted connection from other application with this
login?
Try the connection string
Driver={SQL
Server};Server=myServerAddress;Database=myDataBase;Trusted_Connection=Yes;
as described for an ODBC connection in:
http://www.connectionstrings.com/?carrier=sqlserver

>|||Hi Light,
You may try John's suggestion first. Also, I would like to know:
What is the result if you change your code for windows authentication to
the following code:
szConnString = szConnString + "database=master;";
szConnString = szConnString + "Integrated security=SSPI";
Hope this helps. Please feel free to let me know if you have any questions
or concerns.
Best regards,

The solution from John works but the SSPI doesn't.
As long as one of them works, I am happy. However, I would like to know the
difference between them though.
Thanks for all your helps.
Cheers.

After I dicussed this issue with an ADO expert, this issue was related to
the driver option specified in your connection string. ODBC driver does not
recognize "integrated security" option.
If you use SQL OLEDB provider for the connection string
"Provider=sqloledb;server=CharlesXP;database=Test;Integrated
security=SSPI", it will work fine.
You may refer to:
ADO Connection Strings

If you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to let me
now. Have a nice day!
