what error message exactle are you getting? Also, your code is classic asp but you are posting in the asp .net forum.

Change your connection string to this format (with your application specific details of course)

oConn.Open "Provider=MySQLProv;" & _
           "Data Source=mySQLDB;" & _
           "User Id=myUsername;" & _
           "Password=myPassword"

oConn.Open "Provider=MySQLProv;" & _
           "Data Source=mySQLDB;" & _
           "User Id=myUsername;" & _
           "Password=myPassword"

but i dont have any problem with my database connection.
i think problem with the login information check with database

<%dim user,pass
user=request.form("usercode")
pass=request.form("pass")
response.write(user)
response.write(pass)
' Open database
Dim Conn, RS
Set Conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
Conn.Open "Driver={MySql ODBC 3.51 Driver}; Server=localhost; database=slogin; uid=user; pwd=pass;

option=3;"
Set RS = Conn.Execute("SELECT * From userss where username='user' and password='pass'")
if RS.EOF then
response.write("not found")
else
response.write("u have loged in")
end if
' display results
'While Not RS.EOF
'Response.Write RS.Fields("userco") & "<br>"
'RS.MoveNext
'Wend
' closing connection
RS.Close
Conn.Close
Set RS = Nothing
Set Conn = Nothing%>


i m using thsi code if the login information is correct still it give sthe logininformation not found

Change this select statment as : ("SELECT * From userss where username=" + user + "and password=" + pass)

Could be another thought. Remember, always test the SELECT statement as is outside the application to see if it returns what you are actually sending in.

thank u very much
