benji87 Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 Hi all ive recently purchased a bit of software that allows me to create sql tables from excel spreadsheets. It also is able to connect right to the database to download and upload current spreadsheets. Thing is i dont know how to set the connection up? Obviously when you are connecting to it via a page on the server its just localhost. But what do i use when accessing it from my desktop? I think i heard a while back that some hosts do not allow a remote connection, is this true?? Any help would be great because it would save me so much time!!

gluck Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 It should also be localhost if you server is on the same box. Else it will be the host-name or ip with the port number.
