Access example:
Dim strConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=C:\temp\Database1.accdb"
SQL server example (assuming SQL security is used):
Dim strConnectionString = "Server=localhost;Database=databaseName;User Id=sa;
Password=something;"

However, the OP might be wanting to change an application to switch from one backend database to another, say Access to MS SQL. That would require only one connection with a change to the connection string.
