Connect vb6 app to remote db
Posted on 2013-01-05
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?

SQLOLEDB is an old driver. The preferred and current driver for SQL Server 2008 is the SQL Server Native Client 10.0 which can be downloaded here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=16978 Look for Microsoft® SQL Server® 2008 R2 Native Client in the middle of the page and pick the version for your computer.
On this page are connection strings for using SQLNCLI10: http://www.connectionstrings.com/sql-server-2008
SQL Server must also be setup for TCP/IP remote access using SQL authentication. If you are trying to access it using 'named instance' like 209.185.199.1,1433\SQLEXPR

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?

Sqlbrowser.exe always runs on port 1434 as far as I know. Allowing Remote connections is a checkbox on the Properties for the server instance (top of the list). SQL authentication is set up for a user in the Properties for their Login when it is created. And under the Properties for the database you're using, you may have to setup permissions for that login.
