ODBC DSN Connections
Using an ODBC DSN (Data Source Name) is a two step process.
1) You must first create the DSN via the "ODBC Data Source Administrator" program
found in your computer's Control Panel (or Administrative Tools menu in Windows 2000).
Make sure to create a SYSTEM DSN (not a USER DSN) when using ASP.
Note: You can also create the DSN via VB code.
2) Then use the following connection string - with your own DSN name of course. ;-)
ODBC - DSN
oConn.Open "DSN=AdvWorks;" & _
"Uid=Admin;" & _
"Pwd=;
You can also create and use a File DSN. Then use the following ADO Connection string:
ODBC - File DSN
oConn.Open "FILEDSN=c:\somepath\mydb.dsn;" & _
"Uid=Admin;" & _
"Pwd=;"
For more information, see: About ODBC data sources and
How to Use File DSNs and DSN-less Connections
Note: The problem with DSN is that Users can (and will) modify them (or delete by mistake),
then your program won't work so well... So it's better to use a DSN-Less or OLE DB Provider
connection string with a Trusted Connection if possible!
ODBC DSN-Less Connections
ODBC Driver for AS/400

OLE DB Provider for Simple Provider
The Microsoft OLE DB Simple Provider (OSP) allows ADO to access any data for which a provider has
been written using the OLE DB Simple Provider Toolkit. Simple providers are intended to access data
sources that require only fundamental OLE DB support, such as in-memory arrays or XML documents.
OSP in MDAC 2.6 has been enhanced to support opening hierarchical ADO Recordsets over arbitrary
XML files. These XML files may contain the ADO XML persistence schema, but it is not required. This
has been implemented by connecting the OSP to the MSXML2.DLL, therefore MSXML2.DLL or newer is
required.
oConn.Open "Provider=MSDAOSP;" & _
"Data Source=MSXML2.DSOControl.2.6;"
oRS.Open "http://WebServer/VirtualRoot/MyXMLFile.xml", oConn
For more information, see: Microsoft OLE DB Simple Provider
OLE DB Provider for SQL Server
For Standard Security:
oConn.Open "Provider=sqloledb;" & _
"Data Source=myServerName;" & _
"Initial Catalog=myDatabaseName;" & _
"User Id=myUsername;" & _
"Password=myPassword;"
For a Trusted Connection:
oConn.Open "Provider=sqloledb;" & _
"Data Source=myServerName;" & _
"Initial Catalog=myDatabaseName;" & _
"Integrated Security=SSPI;"
To connect to a "Named Instance" (SQL Server 2000)
oConn.Open "Provider=sqloledb;" & _
"Data Source=myServerName\Inst2;" & _
"Initial Catalog=myDatabaseName;" & _
"User Id=myUsername;" & _
"Password=myPassword;"
To Prompt user for username and password:
oConn.Provider = "sqloledb"
oConn.Properties("Prompt") = adPromptAlways
oConn.Open "Data Source=myServerName;" & _
"Initial Catalog=myDatabaseName;"
To connect via an IP address:
oConn.Open "Provider=sqloledb;" & _
"Data Source=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx,1433;" & _
"Network Library=DBMSSOCN;" & _
"Initial Catalog=myDatabaseName;" & _
"User ID=myUsername;" & _
"Password=myPassword;"
Note:
- xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is an IP address
- "Network Library=DBMSSOCN" tells OLE DB to use TCP/IP rather than Named Pipes (Q238949)
- 1433 is the default port number for SQL Server
- You can also add "Encrypt=yes" for encryption
For more information, see: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server
Remote Data Service (RDS) Connections
The following examples show how to connect to a remote database using the RDS Data Control.
When using the RDS DataControl's Server/SQL/Connect properties, the RDS DataControl uses the
RDS DataFactory on the remote server. If you use the RDS DataControl's URL property,
then the RDS DataFactory is not used at all.
WARNING: The RDS DataFactory can be a major security hole if not setup and configured correctly!
For more information, see RDS FAQ #24
RDS DataControl - Connect Property
With the RDS default handler disabled (not recommend due to security risks):
With oRdc
.Server = "http://carl2"
.Sql = "Select * From Authors Where State = 'CA'"
.Connect = "Provider=sqloledb;" & _
"Data Source=(local);" & _
"Initial Catalog=pubs;" & _
"User Id=sa;" & _
"Password=;"
.Refresh
End With
With the RDS default handler enabled (recommend):
With oRdc
.Server = "http://carl2"
.Handler = "MSDFMAP.Handler"
.Connect = "Data Source=MyConnectTag;"
.Sql = "MySQLTag(""CA"")"
.Refresh
End With
The corresponding CONNECT and SQL sections in the default handler \WINNT\MSDFMAP.INI file would be:
[connect MyConnectTag]
Access = ReadWrite
Connect = "Provider=sqloledb;Data Source=(local);Initial Catalog=pubs;User Id=sa;Password=;"
[sql MySQLTag]
Sql = "Select * From Authors Where State = '?'"
For more information about the RDS Default Handler, see:
Q243245, Q230680, and RDS Customization Handler Microsoft articles
RDS DataControl - URL Property
To get records from a remote database:
With oRdc
.URL = "http://carlp0/Authors_GetByState.asp?state=CA"
.Refresh
End With
To save, set the URL property to an ASP web page:
With oRdc
.URL = "http://carlp0/rdsdatacontrol/Authors_Save.asp"
.SubmitChanges
End With
For more information, see: RDS URL Property
ADO URL Connections
ADO 2.5+ allows you to open up a Recordset based on XML returned from an ASP file over HTTP.
This feature doesn't use RDS at all.
ADO Recordset
To get records from a remote database:
oRs.Open "http://carlp0/Authors_GetByState.asp?state=CA", , _
adOpenStatic, adLockBatchOptimistic
To save changes, you must use the MSXML's XMLHTTP object to POST back the updated XML.
The Recordset's Update and UpdateBatch methods will not work in this case.
' Save Recordset into Stream
Set oStm = New ADODB.Stream
oRs.Save oStm, adPersistXML
' Use MSXML's XMLHTTP object to open ASP and post a XML stream
Set oXMLHTTP = New MSXML2.XMLHTTP30
oXMLHTTP.Open "POST", "http://carlp0/Authors_Save.asp", False
oXMLHTTP.Send oStm.ReadText
' If an error occurred
If oXMLHTTP.Status = 500 Then
Debug.Print oXMLHTTP.statusText
End If
For more information, see: ADO Recordset's Open Method
MS Remote Provider Connections
The following connections strings use Microsoft's remote provider (MS Remote). The MS Remote
provider tells ADO to communicate with the remote server (via the RDS DataFactory) and to use
the remote provider that is installed on the remote server.
WARNING: The RDS DataFactory can be a major security hole if not setup and configured correctly!
For more information, see RDS FAQ #24
MS Remote - Access (Jet)
If you want to use an ODBC DSN on the remote machine:
oConn.Open "Provider=MS Remote;" & _
"Remote Server=http://myServerName;" & _

oConn.Open "Provider=MS Remote;" & _
"Remote Server=http://myServerName;" & _
"Handler=MSDFMAP.Handler;" & _
"Data Source=MyAdvworksConn;"
The corresponding entry in the \winnt\Msdfmap.ini file would be:
[connect MyAdvworksConn]
Access = ReadWrite
Connect = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & _
"Data Source=mydb.mdb;" & _
"User Id=admin;" & _
"Password=;"

"Remote Provider=SQLOLEDB;" & _
"Data Source=myServerName;" & _
"Initial Catalog=myDatabaseName;" & _
"User ID=myUsername;" & _
"Password=myPassword;"
If you want to use an OLE DB Provider on the remote machine (via RDS DataFactory Default Handler):
oConn.Open "Provider=MS Remote;" & _
"Remote Server=http://myServerName;" & _
"Handler=MSDFMAP.Handler;" & _
"Data Source=MyPubsConn;"
The corresponding entry in the \winnt\Msdfmap.ini file would be:
