Subject Re: Connection string in ADODatabase From Akshat Kapoor <akshat.kapoor@kapoorsons.in> Date Tue, 27 Oct 2020 13:43:50 +0530 Newsgroups dbase.getting-started Good Afternoon Gaetano, Yes with minor changes this worked. > msgbox(_app.inifile) > d = new adodatabase() > d.databasename="ADOinINI" > d.active = true > q = new adoquery() > q.databasename = d q.database = d > q.sql = "select * from sales20" > q.active = true > msgbox("number of records: "+q.rowset.count()) > q.active = false > d.active=false >>> PORT=3307" port = 3306 But apart from these 2 minor your code works flawlessly. But I would say damn difficult to implement. Because usually we do not know the server name and expecting the end user to change it and make no other changes is expecting too much. Regards Akshat
