I am getting a bad return code from the following function DAO_WorkspaceOpenConnection(). I have gone through the parameters a of number times. I am getting an error 80020009 and an error.sCode of 800A0BB9. This means that something is wrong with one of my parameters. I have found someone on one of the SQL Server newsgroups who is willing to help me, but we need to knwo what the actual function call that DAO_WorkspaceOpenConnection() is making. They claim that this is not a standard ADO call, but rather a NI version of the call. Is this an NI version or did this come from some third party product where I can look?
