Configuring the ADO Client : Connecting to an ADO Data Source : Testing ADO Connections

Testing ADO Connections

The ADO provider opens a Connection window when you perform either of the following actions:

You request a connection to an ADO provider from within your data consumer, and your data consumer requests the ADO provider to prompt for missing connection parameters.

You click Test Connect in an ADO provider setup window to test the connection to a data source you have set up.

See ADO Connection Dialogs for more information about ADO connection dialogs that may appear.
