Thanks for the response. I removed the .1 subversion and removed the User ID from the connection string. The still received same error error was still the same "Provider cannot be found".

Here is the connection string that is returned: "Provider=SQLNCLI11;Data Source=ARCDEV\SQLExpress;Initial Catalog=RELIANT;Integrated Security=SSPI;Persist Security Info=False;Initial File Name='';Server SPN='';Trusted_Connection=YES"

Since the SQL 2012 Server Express is installed on the same machine that I am executing the VB6 application, I checked and the driver is installed.

Do you have any additional suggestions?
