What Steve said. Or you could use ODBC.
You should normally not need to specific the database name in the connection string if you use ODBC.

A simple question - a win developer creating external app to merge Word docs with i data..
asking for database name for connection string.
Is our database name same as what i see in STRSQL (which is some old system serial#..) ?
Message . . . . : Current connection is to relational database S786C5B0.
