Remote database connection

[WeaSiL]

How can I link data controls in a VB application to a database that is stored on a remote server? The IP address is fixed if that makes it easier. I am not worried about security right now as this is primarily for my own learning experience.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

during database connction in connectstring you specify some thing like this
dim myconn as connection
myconn.connectstring("provider=xxx;Driver={};User ID=;Password=;Server= here you specify the ip adddress u got/server name"
myconn.open myconn.connectstring

this will connect to remote server.
