We have a Windows 98 machine and an application that needs a SQL ODBC 
 
connection. Everything goes in correctly; we are able to enter the name 
 
of the data source and the server to connect to, we use trusted 
 
authentication. 
 
On the next window, we check the box for "Change the default database 
 
to:" the database that we need: MMSCFG. We go through the other windows 
 
and the test is successful. 
 
We close the window and are able to get into our application. The next 
 
time we restart the machine, either from a shutdown or restart, the 
 
application fails. 
 
When we check ODBC, the entry is there, but the checkbox for the 
 
"default database" is gone and database is grey. 
 
Has anyone ever seen this problem?
