| Can I specify which instance name to use when connecting to a remote SQL Server through ODBC using IP address and port number? What would be the connection string?Thanks in advance! |

| Connection information would be like this:XXX.XXX.XX.XXX, XXXXBut why would you want to do that? Create an alias on the client machine instead. The alias can be created using Client Network Utility, ODBC screens, or manual registry modifications.Tara |
