If I use delphi's own AdoConnection component, I could use EditConnectionString(AdoConn) to let the user to build the connection string. But if I use the SDAC's connection component, then the same program could not be compiled. How do I achieve the same effect by using the SDAC's connection component

You can't use the EditConnectionString function with SDAC because it is designed for working with ADO components only.

You can use the TMSConnectDialog component to provide dialog for the user to enter a username, password and server name.
