SQL Connection string

C

carmen

I have set forth the following connection string:
strConnect = "PROVIDER=SQLOLEDB; DATA
SOURCE=cats.source1comm.com:80; INITIAL CATALOG=cats;
User ID=CM; Password=OREO"


and I have received the following error:
"[DBNMPNTW]ConnectionOpen (CreateFile()). ".

What's wrong with my connection string? Thanks in advance
for any help.
