I was wondering if someone could post a example connection string to connect to my MS SQL server.

'on error resume next
' Create ADO Connection Object
Set ac = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
' Build connection string and then Open connection
strSQL7 = "Provider=SQLOLEDB;Persist Security Info=False;" &_
               "User ID=USERNAME;Password=PASSWORD;Initial Catalog=DBNAME;" &_
               "Data Source=SERVERNAME"
ac.Open strSQL7 
%>

So I found this which seems to work, except I can't figure out what the name of my server should be. With mysql usually your default is localhost, does MS SQL have a similiar default? I tried typing int he name of the server that's listed in myLittleAdmin, butthat didn't work.

Lunarpages maintains multiple mssql database servers, and the exact server should have been listed in your welcome email.

In the event its not, or you are unable to locate it, I would recommend contacting support at support.lunarpages.com (via web) or support@lunarpages.com (if by email) and we can review which server you are on and the exact server you should use for mssql.

If your account is fairly new it is likely that the you were caught in transition and the welcome email did not include the newest SQL server connection information which is urmom.
