The reason I have nothing to say is because I haven't ever tried what you are doing. However, I do have a book somewhere that talked about synching a server with a local DB on the PDA. It seems to me that there were some threads about that subject in this forum, too, so you might try a search on that. Since I've never done that, I really can't say more than that.

Hello,

There could be many things wrong. I have noticed you have the sql port number in your connection string. That is used if you are connecting to an sql server from the internet.

Is the sql server on the network or you local host? If its on the network then you must make sure that the sql server is set to remote connections and not local. By default sql server is set to local connections.

Are you using the default instance of your sql server or a named instance? For example when you installed sql server for the first time you get a opportunity to name your instance or keep it at the default. I think the default for sql server 2000 is mssqlserver.

The server name is the actual name of the computer that the sql server is installed on. For example: mycomputer\mysqlInstance.

Try going to www.connectionstring.com.

Hope this help,

Steve
