Helen please come down - to earth!!!
Before you waste any more of our time - whilst we try and figure out what you are trying to tell us.

The following is simply too confusing ...

>As noted in response to one of your previous posts,

What "posts"?

you need to consider the PasswordStorage property.
Lovely! We would love to "consider" this mysterious Property - whatever than means! And wherever it is!!.

>TIB_Connection defaults to psNone... Lovely!! How? Where?

>meaning you must activate the LoginPrompt property

"activate" ???? "LoginPrompt property"???

> and enter the user name and password into the login dialog. What a pleasure! THAT we understand!!

That entire paragraph would surely have made more sense (AND COULD HAVE SAVED US HOURS) if you had put it in simple English as follows .....

"Amongst TIB_Connection Properties you will find "PasswordStorage". If I had left this at the default ("psNone") in the model I sent you you would have needed to activate the LoginPrompt property and enter the user name and password into the login dialog each time you ran your Project. Which rather gets in the way each time you run your project during DesignTime.

Which is why you will note that In your sample project, I set your IB_Connection's PasswordStorage property to psNotSecure, which causes the password to be saved in the DFM file of your data module with light encryption (OK for development, not recommended for deployment). That's why you were successful in running that project without entering a password.

As noted in response to one of your previous posts, you need to consider the PasswordStorage property. TIB_Connection defaults to psNone - meaning you must activate the LoginPrompt property and enter the user name and password into the login dialog.

In your sample project, I set your IB_Connection's PasswordStorage property to psNotSecure, which causes the password to be saved in the DFM file of your data module with light encryption (OK for development, not recommended for deployment). That's why you were successful in running that project without entering a password.

There are two intermediate settings - psKeyFromMachineReg and psKeyFromUserReg - which both cause the password to be stored in Registry keys.

btw, if you are not bothering to keep the list emails for reference, you can review the list traffic through a threaded newsgroup interface at news://news.atkin.com. That will also be a source of answers to many of your questions. Also, please make use of the FAQ pages on the web site.
