    Hi all,

    I am using VS.net 2003, and VB. I am new to VB programming.
    I am trying to connect to a database on a server on our network. There are
    two databases one is Interbase, and the other is MYSQL. Both are being
    accessed via odbc. I can open the connections in the server explorer connect
    to the databases and view the tables. I can even view and retrieve data in
    theserver explorer.
    But when I try and connect to the databases in my application, I get an
    error message "Unable to log into database", this is with Interbase, and
    with mysql i get this errormessage "There were errors configuring the data
    adapter."
    Whether I try and drag the tables from the server explorer to the form, or
    drag a dataadapter and dataconnection, and try and manual configure them, I
    get theses error.
    Now here is the strange thing. If I set up the databases locally, the
    connections work perfectly in my app.
    THis leads me to believe that it is a security iss. But I do not know where
    to look, or what to look for. THe connection strings, userid, passwords are
    exactly the same for both server and local machines. I am unaware of any
    other security issue that need changing when designing a app and connecting
    to a database.

    THanks
    Robert
