Just so I'm clear, are you asking for ways to prevent unauthorized ODBC connections to the database? If so, in what context-- are you trying to prevent Joe in accounting from accidentally pointing a local copy of Access against the database or are you trying to prevent a determined technical user from making an unauthorized connection? In other words, is it sufficient to erect a couple of hurdles to make it clear to honest users that you don't want unauthorized connections, or do you really want to secure the system?
