Question

When I first launch our application, a dialog asks me for the database/password.  I clicked the box to save these results and not prompt the next time.

How do I get it to prompt me again?

Answer

The login information is stored in the registry.  A value named SavePassword stores a ‘1′ for Remember Password and a ‘2′ for Automatic Login.  Change the value back to ‘1′ to re-enable the login popup dialog.

See the registry key: 

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Mertech Data Systems\DB Drivers\BTR\Oracle Driver\v4 

or

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Mertech Data Systems\DB Drivers\BTR\SQL Server Driver\v4

If your driver version is prior to 4.2.0.1, you will need to use HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE instead of HKEY_CURRENT_USER
