How do I establish a connection to sql in msfrontpage?

I have done this:

VB

Dim Conn,objrs
Set Conn=server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
Conn.ConnectionString="Provider={SQL Server}; Data Source=dataserver;Initial Catalog=dbname; User ID=uid; Password=pswrd" 
Conn.open	
set objrs=Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
strSQL="select field1 from table1"
objrs.open strSQL,Conn,3,3
response.write "test"

but it shows an error:

Error Type:
ADODB.Connection (0x800A0E7A)
Provider cannot be found. It may not be properly installed.
/iss/example.asp, line 12

What should I do?

I see a couple things here. First, you are trying to use ADODB for your connection and yet you are using an OLEDB connection string. The difference is important. If I recall correctly, you should use OLEDB for Frontpage/Classic ASP connections. I'm not sure if it is because it doesn't support ADO or if it was something else. In any event, here is a site that will give you an example of how to connect to a SQL database:

If you are wondering about different SQL connection strings, you can always go to http://www.connectionstrings.com/[^]. Just make sure you pick the right one for your situation.
