RE: How do you connect to the database from application?

We can use connection object class to establish connection to the specified
DB during runtime


set ConObj CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")

ConObj.Open"Provider Provider Name"


For MS-Access the provider name is

ConObj.Open"Provider Microsoft.Jet OLEDB.4.0; dataSource Path of the
DataBase"


For Oracle SQL Server the Provider name is

ConObj.Open"Provider sqloledb.1;Server IP Address;uid username;pwd ****;DataBase path
of the database"


For Oracle the Provider Name is

ConObj.Open"Provider oraoledb.1;Server ****;userid username(Scott);password ****(tiger)"
