        ado 2 might be a bit out of fashion, but being able to use it to create secure connections between sql azure and Access would be a major help for us as we develop custom solutions for various companies. sql azure would serve us well as the main datastore for many of our Access apps; but because of the transparency of the connection strings, we can't consider it. Microsoft please help with this...we'd like to create many more sql azure based solutions but this is a major obstacle.

        This will enable more secure connections to SQL Azure and provide additional functionality. ODBC linked tables and queries expose your entire connection string including your server, username, and password.
