(the list part I can handle) I'm using ADO in the form of dbGo in BDS 2006 C++ mode. I really don't want to use PromptDataSource since it offers the user WAY to many ways to shoot themselves in the foot. (also, the database won't have been created yet). So, how do I find the available SQL servers? ** Tom ** Back to top Yannis Guest Posted: Sat Jun 17, 2006 7:42 am    Post subject: Re: How to find sql servers on lan Thomas Goodson wrote: Quote: Ok, I've got an application that works fine, but as part of deployment, I need to find all of the available MS-SQL / MSDE servers on the network and present a list to the installer.

Haven't looked at the SQLDMO method yet and might not since I can get by with what the ODBC method gives me. Thanks for the help.
