connect to online database - elnashar77 - 08-08-2011 I have an account with yahoo small business and I have build an online online database but I could not connect to it with visual basic as I do not know the server name, can anyone help with that. Thanks Re: connect to online database - brandonio21 - 08-09-2011 Most servernames or hostnames are simply the website itself, I've never worked with Yahoo!, but try using Yahoo.com, it may just work. Re: connect to online database - elnashar77 - 08-09-2011 Thank you Mr. Brandonio for your response, by the way your videos on youtube is very helpful. I tried to put the server name yahoo.com but it does not work. I have read on the help of yahoo website to use it as mysql but when i put the server=mysql it does not work also. if you have any idea about that please let me know Regards, Re: connect to online database - brandonio21 - 08-09-2011 Thanks for your comments regarding my videos, and please, call me Brandon. All of the google searches I have done have returned me with the host name of mysql - So that should work. Make sure that you have also entered all of the other information correctly. |
