Hi all,

I have difficulties with a dll, which is written in VB 6.0, when I try to 
establish a connection to the DB (= SQL Server 2000) from the dll. 
Locally, however, this error does not appear - so it seems to be somehow 
related to Win2000 Server.

The whole thing looks like that:

   Dim conn As connection
   Set conn = New Connection
   
   conn.Open mstrConnectionString


After this line I get this error:
Error# = -2147467259 [DBNMPNTW]ConnectionOpen (CreateFile())


Does anybody know, what the reason for this could be?

thanks a lot

Thomas

There is a problem with your connection string.  What is it?  Is it a DSN?
If so make sure it is a system DSN and not a user one.
