Is it posible to connect my vb6.0 program to a wamp(mysql, myphpadmin) server on my pc. If i use my program to other part of our country, can i still connect to the wamp server? This is my challenge for a job, the IT personel from a company i am applying wants me to create a server based program.

As long as there is a connection between the computer and the server, whether it's intranet, or internet, you can make the program connect. The main question is changing the connection string to reflect a different server address, and possibly different credentials.

as far as I can tell you'll have to change to a static IP( maybe a different ISP), or subscribe to a Dynamic DNS service. I have no personal knowledge of this but if you Google it there are plenty of links that can help you.

This will make the connection for you. Change the detail as needed...
Dim cnServer As ADODB.Connection
Dim rsServer As ADODB.Recordset
Set rsServer = New ADODB.Recordset
Set cnServer = New ADODB.Connection
cnServer.ConnectionString = "DRIVER={MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver};" _
& "SERVER=MyIPAddressOfServerHere;" _
& "Port=3306;" _
& "DATABASE=MyDatabaseNameHere;" _
& "UID=MyServerUsernameHere;" _
& "PWD=MyServerPasswordHere;" _
& "OPTION=" & 1 + 2 + 8 + 32 + 2048 + 16384
cnServer.CursorLocation = adUseServer
cnServer.Open

sir, i changed the port of the wamp to 8081, now i cant connect properly, i have no idea what causing the problem,
i dont have static ip so im testing it over LAN, if i run the program to other computer, it should connect to wamp running on another computer. But got an error. Please help me ^__^

"OPTION=" & 1 + 2 + 8 + 32 + 2048 + 16384
im using MySql from oracle now, can i just put the ip address generated by my router for the server name? like 192.168.1.108 to test my connection to the other lan computer?

its funny but it worked through LAN, thank you all for the help, i think i will be needing an static ip add and some NASA level encryption(which i still dont have an idea to make ^__^) heres the code
Public cn As ADODB.connection
Public rs As ADODB.Recordset
Sub connection()
Set cn = New ADODB.connection
With cn
.ConnectionString = "Driver={Mysql ODBC 3.51 Driver}; server=192.168.1.100; port=3307; database=2mhzbrain; user=2mhzbrain; password=EqUaL626; OPTION= 1 + 2 + 8 + 32 + 2048 + 16384;"
.Open
'.CursorLocation = adUseClient
.CursorLocation = adUseServer
End With
End Sub
