| One of my VB.Net programs would not connect to SQL Server. I get the following error when I try to connect to server. Login failed for user ‘HQPROD\honlot’.I can login as my self and run the program without any problem. On the client pc user ‘honlot’ has administrative rights. On the Windows 2000 server ‘honlot is a member of Administrators. On the SQL Server 2000 honlot has db owner permissions to the all the databases. HQPROD is the name of our domain. The PC that’s try to connect to is part of the WORKGROUP group, but not part of the domain. Why is it saying login failed for ‘HQPROD\honlot’ with domain name attached to user name. How do I have to do to connect SQL server? |

| You need to specify SQL authentication and not Windows authentication. You do this in your connection string.BTW, Windows authentication is recommended. It is more secure. Windows authentication would be your domain account.Tara |

| Tara, I think my problem is in the connection string. Here is the connection string I use to connect to a database in VB 6.0. ConnectString=Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Persist Security Info=true;User ID=honlot;Password="";Initial Catalog=LotCtrlS9V;Data Source=sqlvI tried to use the same connection string in VB.net but it didn’t work. So I changed the connection string to this:ConnectString=Server=SQLV;Database=LotCtrlS9V;Integrated Security=TrueHow should I update this connection string to work with my VB.Net program and use SQL Server authentication?Also my development pc is using TCP/IP protocol. And the workstation is Named Pipes. I don’t know how to change it to TCP/IP since SQL server is not installed on the Workstation. Could this be a problem? |

| Integrated Security=True means to used Windows authentication, which apparently is not what you want.Tara |

from the err message, you're using windows authentication, use:ConnectString="Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;integrated security=sspi;trusted connection=yes;Initial Catalog='LotCtrlS9V';Data Source='sqlv'"if standard login:ConnectString="Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Persist Security Info=true;User ID='honlot';Password='passwordhere';Initial Catalog='LotCtrlS9V';Data Source='sqlv'"hope this helps... |
