hi for i am new to vb6 with sql server 2008. I have managed to create database named : Tuscan77 in project folder with all the necessary tables with primary and foreign keys in tables. I have done the same project in vb6 with adodb with ms access and i have finished it. But now based on my boss orders i have to connect vb6 with adodb with sql server 2008.
Now below is my code in mdi parent form in vb6 which i used to connect to database in access.:
Dim i As Integer
Dim AccessConnect As String
Dim dBOOL As Boolean
Dim dMstr As String
If (Left(App.Path, 1) = "\") Then
dMstr = Dir(App.Path & "tuscanDB.mdb")
Else
dMstr = Dir(App.Path & "\tuscanDB.mdb")
End If
dBOOL = IIf(dMstr = "", False, True)
If (dBOOL) Then
AccessConnect = "Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};" & _"Dbq=tuscanDB.mdb;" & _"DefaultDir=" & App.Path & ";" & _"Uid=Admin;Pwd=;"
If (adoDatabase.State <> 0) Then
adoDatabase.Close
End If
adoDatabase.ConnectionString = AccessConnect
adoDatabase.Open
Else
Dim mPath As String
CommonDialog1.CancelError = True
CommonDialog1.Flags = cdlOFNHideReadOnly + cdlOFNPathMustExist + cdlOFNFileMustExist
' Set filters
CommonDialog1.Filter = "All Files (*.*)|*.*|RTF (*.rtf)|*.rtf|Text Files (*.txt)|*.txt"
' Display the Save dialog box
CommonDialog1.FileName = ""
CommonDialog1.ShowOpen
dMstr = Dir(CommonDialog1.FileName)
mPath = Left(CommonDialog1.FileName, InStr(mPath, dMstr) - 2)
If (CommonDialog1.CancelError = False) Then
AccessConnect = "Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};" & _"Dbq=" & dMstr & ";" & _"DefaultDir=" & mPath & ";" & _"Uid=Admin;Pwd=;"
'---------------------------
' Connection Object Methods
'---------------------------
adoDatabase.ConnectionString = AccessConnect
adoDatabase.Open
End If
End If
}where adoDatabase is name of my connection in vb6 with adodb with ms access.
Now how i connect vb6,adodb with sql server 2008?

Server type: Database Engine
