Can I connect to a local SQL Server through ODBC using the IP address and port number instead of "(loacl)"?
Thanks in advance!

Why not? Anyway in MS Access it works fine:

SELECT *
FROM books IN '' [odbc;Driver={SQL Server};Server=192.168.0.3;Database=myDB;Uid=sa;Pwd=;]
;

Add this to your connection string:

Address=127.0.0.1,1434;

The first section is the IP address, then a comma, then the port number.
