    5. Owner password: The password for the db_owner user account. Please enter the password in again in the second text box

    12. Additional connection properties: If you need more connection options that aren't provided, use this space to add whatever you need (i.e. Network Library=DBMSSOCN;MultipleActiveResultSets=true;)
