As always we keep repeating our advice to use FWH functions to connect to any ADO Server, instead of trying your own connection string. This has the advantage that FWH creates suitable connection string based on the version of provider installed on the target computer. For example, any of these providers could be installed on your client's computer viz, SQLNCLI11, SQLNCLI10,SQLNCLI or the default SQLOLEDB. FWH function searches for the latest provider (driver) installed and establishes connection.
This is a sample of our recommended usage:
[code=fw:mmos9t4f][/code:mmos9t4f]
It is also possible that the server is configured to login with Windows security. In that case you can use:
[code=fw:mmos9t4f][/code:mmos9t4f]
If you use FW functions, you need not again ask this question : "How to connect?" to any database, be it MySql, MsSql, Oracle, etc.
