Question : Connect VB6 to SQL 2008

I have several  programs that I've been using for years in VB6 that connect to a SQL 2000 server, I'm looking to upgrade the Db server to SQL 2008 and am having trouble connectiong to the 2008 server. Do I have to make changes to the connection string for SQL 2005/2008?

Here is my connection that im using now to connect to the SQL 2000 server:

    Dim DBNAME As String, SERVERNAME As String
   
    DBNAME = "database"                   'SUBSTITUTE YOUR DATABASE NAME HERE
    SERVERNAME = "server\instance"  'SUBSTITUTE YOUR SQL SERVER NAME HERE
   
    cn.ConnectionString = "Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Integrated Security=SSPI;Persist Security Info=False;Initial Catalog=" & DBNAME & ";Data Source=" & SERVERNAME
    cn.Open   '<---Fails when opening connection with the attached error message
   
    rs.ActiveConnection = cn
    rs.CursorLocation = adUseClient
    rs.CursorType = adOpenStatic
    rs.LockType = adLockBatchOptimistic
   
    rs.Source = "SELECT * FROM table ORDER BY lastname, firstname"
    rs.Open

It fails at the cn.open with "SQL server does not exist or access denied"
Im using integrated security and the login i'm using has dbo on the database.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Answer : Connect VB6 to SQL 2008

In Sql Server configuration manager
Did you enabled TCP/IP and named pipes on the protocols for the sql server? (under sql server network configuration)
Normally this is default disabled and you can only connect to the server locally.
