Default Prompt user login when refresh data

Dear all,

I have some Excel files which use Pivot Table to retrieve
data. The backend data is stored in SQL server and ODBC
(System DSN) is used for connection.

I use my own computer to create the files. There is no
problem when I refresh data (Data -- Refresh Data) in the
Excel files on my own computer. However, when the files
are passed to other users (I created the same ODBC system
DSN in users' computers) and they refresh the data on
their own computers, the Excel files always prompt a login
screen of SQL server. But it does not appear in my own
computer. Anyone knows how to eliminate the login prompt
on users' computers? It is quite distracting to the
users.... Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Terence
