Connecting Visual Basic 6.0 to SQL Server 2005

  • Hi,

    My connection string inside visual basic 6.0, to connect to SQL Server 2000 is this one:

    "Provider=SQLOLEDB;Integrated Security=SSPI;Initial Catalog=test;Data Source=servername;"

    At the company we have changed our SQL Server engine to the 2005 version.

    I need to alter this connection string inside my vb 6.0 apps so that they can connect to SQL Server 2005 and i want to change the connection type too (from windows authentication to SQL Server authentication).

    Can someone help?

    Thank you.

  • Using SQL OLEDB:

    Provider=SQLOLEDB;Integrated Security=SSPI;User ID=myUserID;Initial Catalog=myDataBase;Data Source=myServerAddress;Password=myPassword;

    Using SQL Native Client:

    Provider=SQLNCLI;Server=myServerAddress;Database=myDataBase;Uid=myUsername; Pwd=myPassword;

    --Ramesh


  • Thank you for reply.

    Wen you talk about "Using SQL OLEDB" you are talking about connection using the MDAC, correct?
