Connect Remotely with a VB Data Environment

  • I can't seem to get the setting right for the server name for the data environment in VB.  Usually you would put in the server name when you are local but I can't get it to work when I am remote.  Do I put in IP Addressor what?

     

    Any help would greatly be appreciated.

    Thanks,

  • hi brent weitzel...

    i don't know u developing by VB6 or VB.NET, but i'll write a connection string using VB.NET

    to set up a connection to sql server , u must declare about

    1 - server name

    2- sql instance

    3 - database name that running in sql instance

    4 - user name and password if u used SQL authintication , if windows authintication use trusted connection

    5- connection timeout default value 15 sec

    syntax like this...

    connectionstring=(server name\SQL instance;database name; trusted connecton = true;

                              connection timeout =15)

    ex..

    connectionstring = (test\account;accounting;trusted connection = true ; connection timeout=15 )

  • This is for a vb6 application and its actually in the data environment form that is added.   I can connect locally and remotely with my normal connections but am using the data environment for vb reports component.

  • Any Suggestions Anybody?
