Before you can connect to a database using ADO, you must take a few preliminary steps to properly configure your data source.

See the following:

• Connection Strings
• Creating an ODBC-Compliant Data Source
• “DSN-less” Connections
• Selecting an OLE DB Provider
• Data Source Permissions
• Security and SQL Server
