Well, I was asking to see if you wanted to change the config file as a second choice or if that was your first choice. At any rate, the database manager's GetConnectionString method is the key to overriding this behavior. The MM .NET Dev Guide topic "The Factory Object" describes how to subclass the Factory class.
