Before trying to workout the problem as I don't completly understand your post, do you have already setup by your hosting company a MS SQL Server database?
If you do have an MS SQL Server database already setup by your hosting comapny, do you have the server and login details from your host?

I am having the same difficulty.
I don't understand what I am supposed to put in the connection string.
I am a beginner with SQL so please bare with me.
I put the following in mine, but it isn't working. Can someone let me know what the syntax is. (I can't find any examples in the Documentation)
strSQLServerName = \\MyMachineName\sqlexpress
strSQLDBUserName = "sa"
strSQLDBPassword = ""
strSQLDBName = "forum"
When I launch the MSsql_Server_setup.asp file,
then use the account and password as above (odcb driver installed an working fine) I am unable to login. What am I doing wrong?

Try:-
localhost\SQLExpress
If the installation is running on the same server.
Also make sure you setup SQL Express to run in 'moxed mode' (option when installing), as this will allow TCP/IP connections to the SQL Server

strSQLServerName - should be the IP Address or Server Name provided by your hosting provider. Do not use a path or anything like that, just the DNS Name or the IP Address. If you are running a Named Instance i.e. SQLExpress you need to add this Instance Name by a backslash. So either servername or servername\instancename
sqlSQLDBUSername should be provided by your hosting company also. If you are running locally it can be SA, otherwise it is usually a loginname like domain.com or some other username provided.
sqlSQLDBPassword is the password provided by the hosting company. If you are using sa I would NEVER leave it blank.
strSQLDBNAme should be the database assigned to you or you created. So if you run local use a command like
create database myforums
If you are hosting, they usually assign a db name to you.
