I've been trying to connect SQL Server with VB6. I'm running Windows 2000 on VMWare. I've been unsuccessful in doing so. The error was on the connection string. How can I find the connection string details.

This is the current connection string:

.ConnectionString = "user ID=" & DBUser & ";password=" & DBPass & ";" + "Data source=" & strservername & ";" + "Initial Catalog= StudentManagementSystem"
        .Provider = "SQLOLEDB.1"

I get the error from err.description

Login failed for user 'dbo.'

Answer 1

After discussing, tried using a trusted connection in the form of

Server=myServerAddress;Database=myDataBase;Trusted_Connection=True;

and after fixing the servername it worked.

Answer 2

Dbo. Is not a user name its a schema. You need to verify the username.
