I developed one application in visual basic 6.0 with the backend of Sql server 2000.
I want this application can be run in all client level. what i did is i installed windows 2003 server and sql server 2000 in one system and i copied the exe file of the application in all the client level which is already installed vb 6.0 also. The database is available in main server but it is not working. what should i do ? Can any one help on this with step by step instructions.

go to control panel/administrative tool/ data sources

once you run the data sources

click SYSTEM DSN

click add and locate the database of your system

name it EX. "MYDSN"


on your VB code

just do something like this


conn.open "DSN=MYDSN"

now all the copies of ur .exe will point to a single Database

use Active Data Objective (ADO).
