Jason writes "I am trying to connect to MS SQL Server 2000 database "A" at website "A" from web page "B" at website "B" using ASP.

Websites A & B are on different servers.

My current connection looks something like this:
Provider=SQLOLEDB;Data Source=SEC210WIN2K;Initial Catalog=aaa;User ID=bbb;Password=ccc;

From what I understand, it is looking for a database on the current server (SEC210WIN2K) that the domain currently is hosted on. I need it to look on another server on another domain.

Reason: I have two websites. I want one website to connect to a database on my other website."

strconn="Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Password=xxx;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=xxx;Initial Catalog=xxx;Data Source=http:\\10.10.10.1"

Just point the site to the server. You can use an IP if the name is not being resolved.
