                                            | Hi,I'm having trouble connecting to a database on another server. I have setup the DSN which in testing works perfect. However when running the asp script with the follwing code:     <%    Dim rsGetInvoiceContact    Dim rsGetInvoiceContact_numRows    Set rsGetInvoiceContact = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")    rsGetInvoiceContact.ActiveConnection = MM_conn_to_EFACs_STRING_ap    rsGetInvoiceContact.Source = "SELECT *   from "& ActinicPersons &" p  WHERE p.[Contact ID] = " + Replace(rsGetInvoiceContact__vInvoiceID, "'", "''") + ""     rsGetInvoiceContact.CursorType = 0    rsGetInvoiceContact.CursorLocation = 2    rsGetInvoiceContact.LockType = 1    rsGetInvoiceContact.Open()    rsGetInvoiceContact_numRows = 0    %>With the below connection string:    Dim MM_conn_to_EFACs_STRING_ap    MM_conn_to_EFACs_STRING_ap = "dsn=DSNefacsdb2;uid=IUSR_RFS01;pwd=Splendid01;"The error show after running the script:     [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]OLE DB provider 'MSDASQL' reported an error. The provider did not give any information about the error.    /Sales/order_entry.asp, line 55When running the script against the local database it works as I want it, I have adjusted all the permissions on the other database for the user IUSR_RFS01, but still no joy! :( |

                                          | Looks like the system doesn't like the sql you have sent it.Could be something doesn't exist, the sql is wrong or your connection doesn't have permission on the objects.==========================================Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.SSIS can be used in a similar way.Beer is not cold and it isn't fizzy.  |
