I have a monitoring application that needs to determine what database
to connect to at login time, so I use the OnLogin event to present a
list of possible target databases from which the user picked one, and
then I connected to that DB. 

In D3, I was able to set any of the LoginParams in this event, things
like the server to connect to, what net protocol to use, and more. My
app worked just nicely.

It seems now in Delphi 4, I can *only* set the user name and password.
Is this correct, has anyone else had this effect, too? Why is this so?
Any way around it?
