Login issue. 1

[Jonah86]

I'm using a database in MySQL for my program. I'm not sure if I should have this question here or in the MySQL forum, either way maybe some of you have seen this issue.

The database has a required login whenever it is accessed. So, when I open my application it asks me to log in...not a login that I made, one that gets created. My problem is, when you put in a wrong name/pass combo it gives series of annoying errors that scare users. I get reports every day about these errors and I was wondering if there is any way to handle that error. I'm not sure how since it's not using any code or forms that I made. I figure there must be some way, but I'm pretty much at a loss.

Thanks.

You need a TDatabase component in your app. In design time, make sure none of the DB components are set Active := true or Connected := true, as these will bring up the login prompts at runtime.

You could generate your own login screen and then in the TDatabase's OnLogin event, set the username and password equal to what the user entered. Then set connected := true for the TDatabase, that should solve the problems.

BTW, I'm talking BDE here, are you using it or ADO?
