Hallo Mats,

the correct syntax for the SERVER part is
Server= [protocol:]Server[,port]

hope this helps

Has anyone used revOpenDatabase to connect to an MS SQL database?
I have been trying to open an ODBC connection using this:

put revOpenDatabase("ODBC","DRIVER=SQL Server;SERVER=" & tServerAndPort & ";DATABASE=" & tDBname & ";UID=" & tUser & 
";PWD=" & tPsw & ";Trusted_Connection=No",,,) into dbIDThe server connects on port 55999 so tServerAndport contains "theServerIPaddress:55999".
I get this error msg in return:
[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Invalid string or buffer length

If only the server IP is provided in the second argument, the resulting message 
is:
[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default 
driver specified

The docs says that port is only used only for MySQL an Postgree.
Does that mean I cannot use revOpenDatabase to connect to an MS SQL database on 
a specific port?
I am using LC 5.5 on Windows.
