Thanx, I can easily modify the connect string to use the designated port.

Most of my clients will be using Win98 and 2000. Do these OS's have the dbmssocn.dll installed or will I have to install the SQL Server Client Utility at the client sites?

Who determines which port I can use? Will the network people assign me a port or do I select a port? I saw in the KB aritcle that I can use NETSTAT to find out what ports the server is listening on.

Thanx,
Charlie
