Is there any query code that will allow joining tables that are in different databases running on the same server If yes, how is the connection to each handled

Query 2 tables - each in a different database

The select code is clear but the connection to the two databases is not when using ADO. Is one connection object used somehow or are the databases linked

That is no problem.
SELECT a.Field, b.Field
FROM dbo.myTable a
JOIN OtherDatabase.dbo.myTable b ON a.myKey = b.myKey

WeslyB is right.
But your user has to have select rights on the other database.
You don't have to handle the rights in ADO.
