I've always used MS Access databases for my projects that were so far never a problem, as most projects did not need a huge DB..
However,
I have purchased a shopping cart (ProductCart from EarlyImpact) and like to connect to that database so I can create some reports for my own use...
The problem is: I have no idea how to setup the connection within CodeCharge
I have tried several things but it seems like there's not a real good explanation on how to connect to an external SQL database...
The information I have for the database (hosted with GoDaddy.com) that I find back in one of the files for the cart:
<%private const scCrypPass="CPHGFWTIAUENBTKZN6371670531582008421145314"
private const scDSN="Provider=sqloledb;Data Source=whsql-v24.prod.mesa1.secureserver.net,1433;Initial Catalog=STORE;User Id=USER;Password=XXXX"
private const scDB="SQL"
private const scStoreURL="http://www.MyServer.com/"%>
Can anyone help me out with this to get this connection setup in CCS?

in your connection change the type to sql server then use this as your connection string
Provider=sqloledb;Data Source=whsql-v24.prod.mesa1.secureserver.net,1433;Initial Catalog=STORE;User Id=USER;Password=XXXX
use the password & user en the authenticate also below the connection string and under server tab select same as design

Thanks for the reply Theunis,
Sorry for the late late responds.. Been out of it for a while...
I've tried your reply, but no luck so far... Guess I'm a little clueless here...
This is the info I have and tried to implement in your string:
DSN : mssql_someone.dsn (found this later on my host)
and of cos the code I took out of the cart that creates the connection:
%private const scCrypPass="CPHGFWTIAUENBTKZN6371670531582008421145314"
private const scDSN="Provider=sqloledb;Data Source=whsql-v24.prod.mesa1.secureserver.net,1433;Initial Catalog=STORE;User Id=USER;Password=XXXX"
private const scDB="SQL"
private const scStoreURL="http://www.MyServer.com/"%>
Can you help me any further with this? (or someone else perhaps?)
Also I have tried finding some documentation on how to setup a SQL connection (step-by-step) on the forum and KB, but could not find anything.... Does it exist?
