My application connects as privileged user to SQL server using
this.nConnHandle = sqlstringconnect( m.cConnString )
sqlstringconnect() returns 1 or some other predictable small integer as this.nConnHandle value.

I allow users to customize reports.

User can add an expression sqlgetprop(1, "ConnectString") to
output form. This returns the connection strings which contains
password!

Any idea how to prevent users from retrieving connection password ?
Is it possible to override (re-define) sqlgetprop() to prevent usage of ConnectString parameter ?
