Alright people I need help and couple of questions answered please Smile.
 
i sue web hosting from brinkster and i need help installing this guy on my account.

 strSQLServerName = "mysql.brinkster.com" 'Holds the name of the SQL Server (This is the name/location or IP address of the SQL Server)
 strSQLDBUserName = "brinkster account" 'Holds the user name (for SQL Server Authentication)
 strSQLDBPassword = "123:P" 'Holds the password (for SQL Server Authentication)
 strSQLDBName = "mySQL"  'Holds the name of the database
Alright so far i think thats right. But my main question is is the file that holds this info secure because it does hold my account name and password any way to protect this file from annoying people?

Short answer - yes.
 
Long answer - It is secure because the data is held in an ASP file, which when accessed only returns html code, not the real content. If the page was viewed through IE it would be blank, if you view the source code it will have something like
 
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML><HEAD>
<META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<META content=QKPRNGPROX name=SKYPE_FRAMEID></HEAD>
<BODY></BODY></HTML>
 
Easy peasy
