I remember something like this happening to me a few years ago, but I do
not remember the details.  It may have been with Interbase or MySQL.  It
turned out that I had to use a different format for the connection
string.  I finally found an example somewhere and it worked when I tried
it.

Depending on the adapter, often the default string works and you do not
need to type one in yourself.

Why don't you tell us what database, adapter, version, and OS you are
using, along with examples of connections strings that you though should
work but do not?
