    Posted: 13 March 2003 at 12:26pm

A 3rd party company is doing my web hosting.

My scripts and database sit on their web server.

I need to write a connectionstring in order to connect to the database.

Their directory structure looks like this:
1. /www/companyname/scripts : I place all my asp scripts here.
2. /www/companyname/data : I place my Access database here.
3. /www/companyname/html : I place my HTML scripts here.

The DSN IP address is 64.55.188.5 on port 1433.

Would the connectionstring look something like this?

"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; Data Source=/www/mydomain.com/data/MyDatabase.mdb; User ID=myUserid;Password=myPassword"

Thanks

It would look something like this but you say the dsn is on port 1433 and 1433 is the default port for SQL Server so unless they have some odd setup it is not access you are using with that connection, it is sql server.
