I am attempting to connect to an SQL Anywhere 12 database via VB.NET VS2008.

When attempting to use connection string setting different parameters I get an "Invalid User ID or password". Yet the User id and password is correct.

If I set the connection string with a DSN= it works fine.

I am using the SAConnectionStringBuilder.

enter code here
Public Shared Function GetActiveConnection(ByVal hostName As String, ByVal serverName As String, ByVal databaseName As String, ByVal userName As String, ByVal password As String, ByVal authentication As String) As SAConnection
        Dim connBuilder As New SAConnectionStringBuilder
        connBuilder.Host = hostName
        connBuilder.ServerName = serverName
        connBuilder.DatabaseName = databaseName
        connBuilder.Integrated = "False"
        connBuilder.UserID = userName
        connBuilder.Password = password
        connBuilder.ConnectionTimeout = 60
        Return New SAConnection(connBuilder.ConnectionString)
    End Function

Public Shared Function BuildConnectionString(ByVal hostName As String, ByVal serverName As String, ByVal databaseName As String, ByVal userName As String, ByVal password As String, ByVal authenticationMode As String) As String
        Return GetActiveConnection(hostName, serverName, databaseName, userName, password, authenticationMode).ConnectionString.ToString
    End Function
Public Shared Function ConnectStringOK(ByRef ConnectString As String) As Boolean
        Try
            Dim cConnect As String = ConnectString
            Dim sqlC As New SAConnection(cConnect)
            sqlC.Open()
            sqlC.Close()
            Return True
        Catch ex As Exception
            Return False
        End Try
    The connect string is constructed as: "UserID=dba;DatabaseName=NTTest;ServerName=TSTSyb12;Integrated=False;Connection Timeout=60;Host=SVR"

Any ideas?
