Question : Updating the System DSN In ODBC and Default Database Setting Won't Save Selection

I'm trying to perform the following updates:

1. Navigate to the ODBC Data Sources (Control Panels - Administrative Tools) and Launch
2. Click on the System DSN tab
3. Click Configure or Add
4. Enter name, select Server, click Next
5. When Prompted: How Should SQL Server verify the authenticity of the login ID?
    select 'With SQL Server  authentication using a login ID and password entered by the user?'
6. On that same screen select: Connect to SQL Server to obtain default settings  for the additonaly configuration options.
   LoginID: Enter SQL Server Login
   Password: Enter Password
Click Next
7. On the next Screen, select the check box: 'Change the default database to:'
   Select the Database
Keep all other default option.

Click Next until Finish appears and then click TEST Data Source.

Click OK after successful confirmation

When I navigate back in the setting for the default database is lost. Why? I'm sure someone knows.

This is a sql user account that is for BusinessObjects and only requires READ Access so that is all the permissioning granted.

That same user has the same database stipulated as the default database in the SQL Server Security Properties.

Let me know what advice you have.

Answer : Updating the System DSN In ODBC and Default Database Setting Won't Save Selection

If you change your default DB in SQL, when you go back to your DSN it is checked with the database you selected before in the DSN, it doesn't change.
This "issue" only happens when the database selected is the same that the default for the user in SQL Server, and it doesn't affect the connection, since it is already selected.
