Port

(DEPRECATED - former I*net Data Server only.) Sets or returns the port number the client will use to communicate with the IDS. This property is ignored if the VAccess control is not trying to access remote data via the IDS.

The value of this property should only be changed if the IDS port number has been changed. If the client port and IDS port settings are different, the client will be unable to connect to the IDS.

The default value for all of the IDS client components is 2441.

If the port property is changed while the ActiveX is connected to an IDS host, the change will not take effect until the next connection is attempted.

►

To force a port change to take effect:

1

Set HostConnect to False.

2

Change the port number.

3

Reset HostConnect back to True to force the new connection to operate on the new port setting.
