   The Connection String Editor dialog box opens.

   

4. In the Connection String box, modify the attributes of the connection string, such as the database server name and port number.

5. To test the connection string, click Test Connection. In the Ping Database Server dialog box, type the database administrator user name and password and click OK. If the connection is successful, a confirmation message displays. Otherwise, an error message displays.

6. Click OK to save your connection string modification and close the Connection String Editor.
