Appendix: Data Link Properties Window
Use the Connection tab to specify how to connect to your data using an OLE DB
provider.
The Connection tab of the Data Link Properties dialog box is provider-specific and
displays only the connection properties required by the selected OLE DB provider.
Connection properties allow you to specify where your data is located and how to
connect to the data. For more information, refer to the documentation for each
specific OLE DB provider.
The following table describes most connection options.
Option Description
Data Source Type the name of the data source you
want to access—typically a server name.
Location Type the location of the data source you
want to access—typically a database
name.
Use Windows NT Integrated security Click to use an authentication service to
identify yourself.
To use this feature, your OLE DB
provider must support an authentication
service. The OLE DB Provider for SQL
Server is an example. You also must
have permissions in the data source to
use the authentication service.
