Hi All
Strange question here and i just cant figure out what is causing this. The company i work for has about 50 clients running their one package. A few months ago i upgraded the database from sql 2000 to sql express 2008 mainly so that it can run on windows 7. All is good and it works perfectly. Except on certain sites it doesnt seem to connect to the database the only thing i changed is the connection string to cater for sql express 2008 and i have a form that is displayed should the connection not be successfull. Im struggling to find out what is causing this as i cant duplicate the scenario on my dev machine or my laptop as it works perfectly. Could it be something to do with MDAC or now WDAC that might not be installed on certain machines that could be causing this ? Below is the connection code which works fine.
Im at a bit of a loss here.Code:Case "SQL/EXPRESS 2008" On Error GoTo trap3 Set cnnMain = New ADODB.Connection cnnMain.ConnectionString = "Driver={SQL Server Native Client 10.0};server=" & Trim(ServerName) & ";uid=" & Trim(UserName) & ";pwd=" & Trim(Password) & ";database=" & Trim(Database) cnnMain.ConnectionTimeout = Timeout cnnMain.CommandTimeout = 260 cnnMain.Open On Error GoTo 0 Exit Sub trap3: Load frmServerErr frmServerErr.lblCap.Caption = err.Description & cnnMain.ConnectionString frmServerErr.Show vbModal End End Select
Many Thanks
AJ
