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

Most servernames or hostnames are simply the website itself, I've never worked with Yahoo!, but try using Yahoo.com, it may just work.

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,

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.
