asked on Connect vb6 app to remote db
I am trying to connect my vb6 app to either a local or a remote database, depending on which is selected. Here is my connection string:
I get a "server not found" error when I try to connect. Is there an error in my string or my process?
If sWhichSrvr = "Remote" Then
conn.Open "Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Integrated Security=SSPI;Persist Security Info=False;Initial Catalog=CCMeet;User ID=id;Password=pwd;Data Source=209.185.199.1,1433\SQLEXPRESS"
Else
conn.Open "Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Integrated Security=SSPI;Persist Security Info=False;Initial Catalog=CCMeet;UID=id;Pwd=pwd;Data Source=VIRA-5\SQLEXPRESS"
End If
I get a "server not found" error when I try to connect. Is there an error in my string or my process?

Good information. Sqlbrowser.exe (I assume that is SQL Server browser in the "Services" area?) is running but I can't see how to check the port it is running on? TCP/IP is enabled but how do I check if it is using SQL authentication?
