'SQL Connection String
sConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=c:\yourdatabase.mdb"

If your using MySQL then use standard Connector:

Server=myServerAddress;Database=myDataBase;Uid=myUsername;Pwd=myPassword;

on your code:

Dim strconnection As String = "Server=myServerAddress;Database=myDataBase;Uid=myUsername;Pwd=myPassword;"
