Hi Kumar,

A couple of changes. The 'Data Source' should point to the server name or address 'Data Source=TESTSERVER'. The connection open method parameters doesn't look right to me. The first one is the connection string and "USHM" doesn't look as one. The second and third parameters are login name and pasword. You've to provide them if you're using SQL security or ommit them alltogether otherwise. It should be

oConnection.open(, < SQL user name >, < password >)     && SQL security
* or
oConnection.open()    && Windows security

I have the following problem when I open the database using oConnection.Open. Error Message: OLE Idispatch exception code 0 from Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQLServer:[DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen(Connect().]Sql Server does not exist or access denied.
