| Hi, I am getting this error "bnmpntw connectionopen (createfile())" when I tried to connect to SQL Server From VB application. I have used connection string by hardcoding Username and password. SQL server is a remote m/c and my VB application is running from local m/c. Interestingly I tried to run the VB application from 2 different m/cs, one is having SQL Server already installed and one without. My application ran on 1st m/c ie having SQL server but failed on the other m/c ie without having SQL server installed. What could be the reason/s ?Thanks in AdvanceJaydeep |

| IIRC correctly that sounds like the named pipe network library, and named pipes only work on NT-based operating systems (NT, 2000, XP), they do not work on Win95, 98, or ME. Double check the operating systems of the machines that failed, or (better solution) use TCP/IP to connect to your SQL Server. |
