- hhmmm, well the way we do it is to put the password in a file and pipe it to
- the login / attach command. I think someone already posted this solution
- ealier - but simply do ...
-
- LOGIN USERNAME/SERVERNAME < PASS.DAT
-
- where PASS.DAT is on the local drive with the password in it.
- Its not a very secure method .. but it works !
-
- Hope that helps, Steve.
