use the ADO Connection Object and open a connection with the SQL OLE DB Driver

Set objADOCon = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")

objADOCon.Open "Provider=SQLOLEDB;Server(OR Data Source)=sqlserver;User ID(Or UID)=username;Password(Or PWD)=password;Database(Or Initial Catalog)=database name;"

The last one is the one to use for most web applications.

Lead me not into temptation... I know the short cut, follow me.

Thank you very much.

But I have found out that there are many different connection using SQL SERVER.

With DNS
<% dbconn="Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;UID=user;Password=password;Initi al Catalog=DSNname;Data Source=IPaddressoftheSQLserver,PortNumber" %>

OLEDB

<%
Set cnn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
cnn.open "PROVIDER=SQLOLEDB;DATA SOURCE=sqlservername;UID=username;PWD=password;DATABASE=myda tabasename "
%> 

WITH DNS

<%
Set Conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
Conn.open "DSN=DSNname;UID=user;PWD=password;DATABASE=mydatabasename"
%> 

WITH OUT DNS

<%
Set Conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
DSNtest="DRIVER={SQL Server};SERVER=ServerName;UID=USER;PWD=password;DATABASE=myd atabasename"
Conn.open DSNtest
%> 

which one is the best to choose?
Plz, help!

you may also need to change some of the sql statements.. like the booleans True and False in Access should be 1 and 0 in SQL Server..

if you get any problems, it's just to come back and ask in a nice way

Firstly you need to convert your MS Access Database to an SQL server db, for this you could use this walkthrough

http://www.devjunkies.com/?name=viewart&tid=60&type= 1

After that you just change your connection string, to something like:

Server=server;User ID=user;Password=pass;Database=dbtouse;

If you need a differant connection string you could try

www.connectionstrings.com
