OLEDB connection string fails if SalesLogix database .mdf file is stored on D: drive
Posted: 09 Dec 08 1:01 PM

From a Visual Basic script, I've successfully connected to a SalesLogix database using the following connection string IF the database .mdf file is stored on drive C:\.
Provider=SLXOLEDB.1;
Password=;
Persist Security Info=True;
User ID=admin;
Initial Catalog=slx72_proto;
Data Source=DBS01;
Extended Properties=PORT=1706;LOG=ON;CASEINSENSITIVEFIND=ON;AUTOINCBATCHSIZE=1;SVRCERT=;
However, the connection fails when attempting to connect to a database whose .mdf file is stored on drive D:\. Is there a way to modify the connection string for such a case, or must the database file always be housed on drive C\: if an external OLEDB connection is to be used?
UPDATED INFORMATION: I restored my prototype database to the C:\ drive and found that the connection string fails on the restored database but succeeds on the SalesLogix databases (saleslogix and saleslogix_eval). I've hunted for any differences in configuration or permissions but haven't found any. |

After you restore the database, are you also fixing the sysdba user (if it is a different machine), and setting up a new connection in the oledb provider?
You can test being able to connect by building a UDL file.
- create a text file, rename it to .UDL and double click it. (Make sure to save passwords)
After you have connected, open with notepad to see the connect string

| Thanks for your reply, Walter. Yes, I had run the sysdba fix script, but still experienced the error. I've since fixed the problem, though, through a combination of placing the database .mdf file on the C: drive (with the log file on a separate drive) and editing the sysdba user security settings in SQL Server. Once I did this, generating a connection string via the UDL tool succeeded and my external scripts connect successfully. |
