Connect to a remote server

    I have written a VB app that connects to a SQL Server on my local network.

    I am using ADO's connection string and giving it the name of the server and database

    name.

    Can I connect to a server on the Internet using ADO and if so, what properties would I need to set?

    Yes, the same. Usually some folks use the IP address instead of name but it is better to use a name and define that name with IP in SQL Client Network Utility so you can change if ever needed.
