Can not connect to SQL database

New D.I.C Head Joined: 3 Jul, 2008 Posts: 1	Hello everybody, I am trying to connect to a MySQL database from an Visual Basic Excel macro, but I can not make it. I have done it like it is described here: http://www.dreamincode.net/forums/showtopic24677.htm My code: CODE Dim sqlConnection As New ADODB.Connection Dim sqlRecordset As New ADODB.Recordset sqlConnection.Open "Provider=SQLOLEDB;Data Source=<IP>;Initial Catalog=<DatabaseName>;User Id=<User>;Password=<Password>;" '... The program is doing something in the "open" line, but comes back with an error. Message: "[DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access denied." I am not so sure about the connection string, especially about the provider. Used values(<>) are ok. I can connect via MySQL Query Browser. MySQL-Version: MySQL 4.1.10a-log via TCP/IP Has anybody an idea what I am doing wrong or what is missing? Thanks MrFlow

Once you have that here is a VB6 example of connecting to a mySQL database vb Dim mySqlConn As New rdoConnection Dim query As New rdoQuery Dim mySqlRecordSet As rdoResultset mySqlConn.CursorDriver = rdUseOdbc 'Make sure to change the username & password as well 'as the database in this connection string mySqlConn.Connect = "uid=YourUserName;pwd=YourPassword; server=YourServerName;" & _ "driver={MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver}; database=YourDataBase;dsn=;" mySqlConn.EstablishConnection Hope that helps
