Sql Connectivity Issue.

  • Hi all,

    I have developed an application which uses the system dsn for connection to sql server database. The application works fine when the user logges on using the admin loggin and pwd. But if the user loggins thrg his own user id and pwd, then the connection error occurs.

    Please any one can help with the connection string. Thanks in advance.

  • Hi,

    You didn't give us a lot of details regarding

    - are you using SQL Server or Windows Authentication?

    - what is the error message?

    - if you run Profiler on the SQL Server, can you see the (failed) connections coming in?

    Are you sure it is a connection string problem and not a permission problem? Can they log in via let's say SQL Server Management Studio?

    http://www.connectionstrings.com contains all different kind of connection strings for different authentication models.

    post the error message and also check the auth. modes of sql server.

  • The message box showed the following error:

    Connection failed:

    SQL State: '01000'

    SQL Server Error: 53

    [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][DBNETLIB]ConnetcionOpen(Connect())

    Connection failed:

    SQL State: '08001'

    SQL Server Error: 17

    [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][DBNETLIB]SQL server does not exist or access denied.

    Note, I am using the windows authentication.

    Thank you..
