David, thanks for the reply.
this has me very confused, I have made a connection called pcrconnect and have built my remote views as the data source pcrconnect I'm using a IP address that will allow me to hit the server in our office from my home office. So what I did I change the IP address in the pcrconnect connection to the name of the server in our office and recompiled the code and installed the exe on a work station in our office. I would have thought at this point this would work.

But what is happening I get a connection failure and then the SQL server dialog box comes up with the IP address I used from my home office and not the name of the server. I can drill down and pick the server I want and all works well.

Thanks

>>Can a connection string be change at run time? I have develop an application from my home office and in my connection string I have the IP address for the server I'm hitting. Now I'm going to move my app in side the office I need to change the IP address to the server I'm wanting to use.
