I'm trying to connect to a db on an MSSQL 2008 server and my typical connections strings just aren't working. Has there been a shift, a change in how we connect to MSSSQL?

Hi Dave, I guess you've got this sorted by now but if it helps I'm using the following connection string with Fasthosts in the UK and it's working fine:

Dim MM_ConnMSSQL_STRING
MM_ConnMSSQL_STRING = "Driver={SQL Server};Server=000.000.000.000;Database=databasename;UID=databaseID;PWD=databasepwd"
