How would I go about accessing SQL Server 2000, runing on a web server,
remotely from another machine? Is is just a change to the connection string?

Thanks,

Brian

If you can avoid allowing a direct connection to the DB over the
internet you will be much safer. The security risks are great when you
expose your DB.

The one exception to this rule is if your internet links are kept to
sites within your organization or close partners where you can set up
VPN links between the sites.

I would look into using a web services (SOAP) interface or a 3 tier
model, depending upon the application requirements.

Allen.
