Connecting to Host SQL Server

T

TheBoss

I have yet (after 2 years) been able to connect to my hosting providers
provided SQL Server. I have tried all connection types allowed but must be
missing a parameter or something else in the connection string. Is anyone
able to give a step-by-step process of connecting to such?
I as well have a MySQL server with a database and am not able to connect to
that either. Unfortunately my hosting company is very lame on their
technical support (being the main reason I'm here) and only partially answer
my questions and do so as quickly and effortlessly as possible. I use to
like Re-Invent.com but now I will be thinking of a change. Their support
ticket processing has been "Down for Maintenance" for the last 2 months -
hummmm?

Thank Everyone Who Replies (in advance);

Glen-
You would probably be better off asking in a db group, such as
microsoft.public.inetserver.asp.db. If you're not using classic asp, someone there
should be able to further direct you.

Thanks Mike; the reason I posted here is because there are specific routes
of connectivity to a remote database given by FrontPage. And it is in
Frontpage whereby my problem exists. E.g. I can connect to remote databases
upon development in Visual Studio 08.
Regardless, I thank you for your idea and will give it a try!

Sincerely
