Hi,

I'm trying to create a quick userform for users to look up specific values in a database. These users do not have access to the database, but I can use other credentials that do. When I put these credentials in the connecting string, it does not appear to be working. Is my syntax incorrect?


VBA Code:
    ConnectionString = "Provider=SQLOLEDB;Data Source=server\db;" & _
                  "Initial Catalog=mydatabasenamespace;" & _
                  "Integrated Security=SSPI;" & _
                  "User ID=user;Password=password"


Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

EDIT: Connecting the SQL server. This works on my computer, but not on the user's computers.

Test for Multiple Conditions in IF?
Use AND(test, test, test, test) or OR(test, test, test, ...) as the logical_test argument of IF.
Remove the Integrated Security=SSPI line.
