an easy question....

I have to connect to a SQL server 2000 database from a VB6 application that runs on a different PC....
PC name = FR_SERVER
SQL server name = FR_SERVER
file name = SQLlab_data.mdf
database name=SQLlab

thank you
Degia

Missing question:
I tried different connectionStrings, but I get a lot of different errors....

Hi degia,

What are the exact connection strings and the corresponding errors messages that you're seeing? Also, have you checked the firewall settings on your server? These KB articles may be of some assistance for configuring the firewall:
