How to get the number of new and unread emails from an email box?? under vc6? Thank you very much!!!

OK,just bellow: I used SQL Server 2000 created a data source.Then I put it on to my homepage.Although The server support SQL Server DataBase,but it is impossible for him to run a srever App for my Client App.So I must used my ID and Password connect to it directly from my Client App.Also I want it to work very smoothly no matter where my Client App runs.

**:confused:**How can I connect to a remote database with my ID and Password using VC6 but without a Server Terminal App? Is this possible? Thank you very much! FoolBear
