Connecting to a remote OBDC database server

[Stan Busk <maxprog@mac.com>]

Hi,

I wanted to connect to a remote OBDC server on the internet. Since I have no 
experience with that I simply tried:

 Dim db as ODBCDatabase

 db = New ODBCDatabase

 db.Host = "Server_IP_Address"

 db.UserName = "my_username"
 db.Password = "my_password"

 db.DatabaseName = "DB_Name"

 If db.Connect then
   //proceed with database operations
 else
   MsgBox "The connection failed."
 end if

Whatever I do I always get a "The connection failed." message box :-/
Is there something else to do? By the way, how do you set the server port?

Stan
