CDaoWorkspace::SetDefaultUser

static void PASCAL SetDefaultUser( LPCTSTR lpszDefaultUser );
throw( CDaoException, CMemoryException );

Parameters

lpszDefaultUser

The default user name. A user name can be 1 – 20 characters long and include alphabetic characters, accented characters, numbers, spaces, and symbols except for: " (quotation marks), / (forward slash), \ (backslash), [ ] (brackets), : (colon), | (pipe), < (less-than sign), > (greater-than sign), + (plus sign), = (equal sign), ; (semicolon), , ( comma), ? (question mark), * (asterisk), leading spaces, and control characters (ASCII 00 to ASCII 31). For related information, see the topic "UserName Property" in DAO Help.

Remarks

Call this member function to set the default user name that the database engine uses when a workspace object is created without a specific user name. The default user name that you set applies to new workspaces you create after the call. When you create subsequent workspaces, you do not need to specify a user name in the Create call.

To use this member function:

1. Construct a CDaoWorkspace object but do not call Create.
   
   
2. Call SetDefaultUser and, if you like, SetDefaultPassword.
   
   
3. Call Create for this workspace object or subsequent ones, without specifying a user name.

By default, the DefaultUser property is set to “admin” and the DefaultPassword property is set to an empty string ("").

For more information about workspaces, see the article DAO Workspace in Visual C++ Programmer's Guide. For related information, see the topics "DefaultUser Property" and "DefaultPassword Property" in DAO Help.
