I assumed something like this would work but all I get is server not found or refused connection errors: SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection("user id=jedi;password=yoda;initial catalog=pubs; data source=hoth\\projectx;"); conn.Open(); I've trawled though google, on line help and msdn but so far I've come up with nothing. Can anyone enlighten me? Martin You can read messages from the Advanced DOTNET archive, unsubscribe from Advanced DOTNET, or subscribe to other DevelopMentor lists at http://discuss.develop.com.
