[dba-VB] How I'm approaching the problem

Hi John

How would you build a list of available server instances? 
These could in theory be spread all over the Internet not only at the default port 1433.

If you could limit the address range and assume port 1433, you would still need a port scanner routine to look up all on-line instances.

I have a form.  On the form I have:

1) A control to specify the path to the database files.
2) A control to select a server instance.
3) A control to select a database.
4) A control to select a table.

5) A control to specify a path to the DATA files to be imported.


#2 above needs code (and a combo as the control) to select the server.

#3 above needs code and a combo as the control to select a database within
that server

#4 above needs code and a combo to select a table within that database

1 and 5 already have controls and code to select a directory.
