I have some modules which contains some procedures which uses a database connection through ADODB. What is the best way to control all these procedures database connections?

Can I somehow only write the username, password and such one time and then reuse this in the other modules?
 

Excel Facts

Convert text numbers to real numbers
Select a column containing text numbers. Press Alt+D E F to quickly convert text to numbers. Faster than "Convert to Number"
create a separate sub routine and then you should be able to call the new routine in the other modules.

You can make the username, password etc public constants then they can be used across the modules.

As for the connection thing, I would control each procedures connections within the procedure, eg open and close the connection in the procedure.
