I'm trying to test the connection of a GoDaddy SQL Server database. I'm getting an 'invalid connection string attribute.'

What's wrong with this script?

Dim cnn As ADODB.Connection
Dim canConnect As Boolean

Public Sub TestConnection()

    Set cnn = New ADODB.Connection   
    cnn.Open "Provider=sqloledb;Data Source=GoDaddyServer.com;Initial Catalog=dBase1;UserID=userID; Password='password';"   
    If cnn.State = adStateOpen Then
        canConnect = True
        cnn.Close
    End If   
MsgBox canConnect

End Sub
