I'm new to VB6, have been into it for a few weeks now working from training guides and reference materials. I've got the basics down and have designed an interface for what I need to do, now I am coding the functionality.
I have used the ADO Data Controls in several examples, but all have been based on a local .MDB file or a local ODBC data source. I intend to use this app to access an Access2000 database located on a WinNT server on our LAN. Basically what I am doing is writing a VB6 application to replace what I'm doing now with IE5 and ASP.

Can someone explain the ConnectionString parameters for the ADO Data Control and what a typical ConnectionString would look like accessing a server on a LAN with no username or password security?

Thanks in advance, any help would be great! Thanks!

Jim
