This following code throws an error when scripting remote database.
Connection to remote server is ok.
Login credentials supplied.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
dBase = srvr.Databases(SourceDatabase.Name)
'include the database create syntax
Dim dbso As ScriptingOptions = New ScriptingOptions()
dbso.FileName = path
dbso.AppendToFile = False
dBase.Script(dbso)

Thanx once more.
The error I'm getting is:
Script failed for Database 'DatabaseName'.
Maybe this can help:

well, according to the error, the server logon that you are using, "SomeName" does not have sufficient access to the database to script it.

Thanx for the reply
The Login name is mapped to dbo user wich is has the DB_owner role. Does this role have full acess to the database or I have to add other roles. I tried to add reade role but an error occured.
Any suggestion will be appreciated.

Check the Login's database mapping at the Server Level:
Expand the Server's Security folder (not the Database's)
, then expand the "Logins" folder
, then select and right-click the "SomeUser" login
, Select "Properties" for the popup menu
On the Properties dialog, select the "User Mapping" view
Now check the list for your database. Unless SomeUser is a SysAdmin, it needs to be mapped to the database here.

Thanks again.
But which server role can script the databse? Especially when it is on remote server. I'm using SMO and VB.net

The notion of the server being "remote" is meaningless here. You must have a Login at the server, "remote" or not. That login at the remote server, must be mapped to the database and must have sufficient access to the database to be able to script it.
Usually, you just give db_owner to the scripter, however, you should be able to get away with as little as the "VIEW DEFINITION" permission on the database.

Thanks a lot.
This makes sense now. I tried to add the "View any definitions" permission to the Login I'm using. I could establish that the Login I'm using cannot add this permission for it's not systemadmin.
Thanks once more.
I would like to become a database administrator. I therefore must have a solid background of SQL. Any Books or links that may be helpful in this regard would be highly appreciated.
