Please help me figure out my SQL Connection string

[kmcq]

I've contacted my host and they have no idea what connection string I need to use to access the MS SQL database we have running on their equipment.

I'm trying to connection from ASP using OLE.

Important info:
Host Name: mssql1.3zhosting.com
Database name: hopstec_membership
Database login: hopstec_hopsvb
Database users hopstec_access

password: xxxx (okay, not really gonna put that here, but its the same for everything)


I want to find a connection string that will let me connect to the database from a remote computer. I assume it will look something like this:

Provider=SQLOLEDB; Data Source=mssql1.3zhosting.com; user id=hopstec_access;password=xxxx

I've browsed forums for hours and tested a wide variety of connection strings similar to this one, but I just can't guess what it should be. Thanks in advance if you can put it together for me!

Ok now...

Tech support at my host finally got tired of me pestering them and cheated by looking at the connection string in another client's application :)

Turns out I needed to specify a specific (not the default) port in the connect string.
