When you switch between databases using the Select data source drop-down list (see Interface elements of the idb.exe window), note that the specified parameters for connecting to the currently selected database are partially reset. This is due to the Microsoft security policy. In order for the settings in the Connection string field to be saved, do the following before you switch to the administration of another database:

1. Make sure that the database which connection settings should be saved is selected in the Select data source list (1).

6. Click OK (6).
7. Click OK on the Data Link Properties window to update the settings and close the window.
8. Click OK in the IDB utility window to save the settings.

As a result, the next time you switch to the selected database, the settings for connecting to it will not be reset.
