I have been given the task of connecting an old application written in VB6.0, installed on a Win7 machine, to a SQL 2000 server. The Native SQL 10.0 driver has been installed on the win7 machine.

I need to connect via a DSNless connection. I have not done this in a long time so I need some help. Here is the current connection string:

OpenConnection("Export", dbDriverNoPrompt, True, "ODBC;DRIVER=SQL Server;SERVER=<server>;DATABASE=<database>;UID=<user>;PWD=<password>;DSN=''")

Thanks.

Thanks for your reply.

I made the change, DRIVER=SQLNCLI10, but still can not connect. According to the link you gave me this change should work. Do you have any suggestions?

So far, the application works until I get to the point where I am trying to connect to the database.

I am still having trouble connecting to the database. I have converted the application to the .NET platform but still can not connect.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Are you getting an error message? Are you sure the server is available? User and password correct?
