Carl,
thanks for your response.
Anyway, I thought (so far) that using an local stored system user dsn (ODBC-source) with permissions ( a known user and a known password ) to LAN-access a external db would prevent me to deal with another setting of permissions to access “this” external db. It works with MS-Access ( data import .. mysql -> access.mdb ); why not with webyog using the same user dsn.
