Hi,

I cannot figure any way to access a database that I have on a remote site ? Is it at least doable or not (for security reasons) ? If yes, could you help me ?

thanks a lot !

@NogDogApr 22.2007 — It is possible, but requires that the database/host be configured to allow remote connections. In such a case, you usually have to specify a port number as part of the hostname in your connection, e.g. "hostname.com:123".

thanks again NogDog for all your help in dozens of my posts !

Success!
