Yes, there are. Open the ODBC Data Source Administrator utility in
Windows XP (it's under Administrative Tools in the Control Panel). The
very first tab shows the list of user-defined DSN's. Click the Add
button. That will take you to a new menu where you need to select a
driver. Highlight the driver of interest and click the Finish button.
After that, you're in business. The driver will open a form for you to
fill in your connection pass and user id this once, and it will
associate them forever with this data source you just set up. After
that you just need to reference the data source in Stata, and should
not be prompted for a password again. That's what I use in the code
snippet I cc'd you earlier (didn't make it onto the Statalist because
I had the gmail rich formatting turned on by mistake).
