The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Connection String for Classic ASP to SQL Server 2008

Asked by Thread7 in Active Server Pages (ASP), SQL Server 2008

I am trying to use ASP code to connection to a SQL Server 2008 instance.  The Web server and Database server are separate machines.  We have some ASP.NET code with connection strings in a web.config file that works fine.  But when I try the same connection strings with classic ASP I get an error saying:
"Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80004005'
[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified "

Below is the working ASP.NET string.  And some of the classic ASP strings I've tried with no luck.
My guess is that it is something with the server address being:
192.168.76.101\theServer
Can I combine IP address with server name like that?  If not, I don't have a named pipes name for this server that I know of.

WORKING:
<add name="FF_D1" connectionString="Data Source=192.168.1.55\theserver;Initial Catalog=SE_D1;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=CoAdmin;Password=Mypass2001"
          providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
 
Error in Classic ASP:
ConnString = "Data Source=192.168.1.55\theServer;Initial Catalog=SE_D1;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=CoAdmin;Password=Mypass2001"
 
I've also tried this:
 ConnString = "Driver={SQL Server};Data Source=192.168.1.55\theServer,1433;Network Library=DBMSSOCN;Initial Catalog=SE_D1;User ID= CoAdmin;Password=Mypass2001;"
 
With this one I get the error:
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][DBNETLIB]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.
 ConnString = "Driver={SQL Server};Server=192.168.1.55\theServer;Database=SE_D1;Uid=CoAdmin;Pwd=Mypass2001;"
