title: Excel VBA: Secure way to get user's database login/password for connection string?
body: <p>I have an Excel VBA tool which needs to query Oracle. I am using ADO. When building the connection string, I get the database, username, and password out of cells in the spreadsheet. What is a more secure way to handle the login?</p>
  
  <p>The spreadsheet will probably be emailed and saved on public drives. Assume an ordinary Office Professional 2007 install, so using 3rd party controls is less good. </p>
