Hello, I need to connect to a SQLServer database over the Internet,
using ADO.
Its address is something like 200.200.200.200\SQL
I've created an alias with SQL Client on my dev PC (that has SQL2k
installed) and been able to connect to that server.

When I copied the software on my customer computer, with Win98, and
MSDE2000, it was'n able to connect to the DB over the internet, only
to the local MSDE one.
I installed sqlredis.exe, configured the alias and now it works.

But my question is: isn't ADO supposed to work without SQL Client
utilities installed?
If so, why it didn't work before?

Thanks!
