If you connect with ADO.NET or the SQL Native Client to a database that is being mirrored, your application can take advantage of the drivers ability to automatically redirect connections when a database mirroring failover occurs. You must specify the initial principal server and database in the connection string and the failover partner server.

Description
The SQL Server Native Client 10.0 ODBC Driver was released with SQL Server 2008 and can access SQL Servers from 7.0 and above.
Programs that are written using the SQL Native Client ODBC driver communicate with SQL Server through function calls. The SQL Server-specific versions of the ODBC functions are implemented in the SQL Native Client ODBC driver. The driver passes SQL statements to SQL Server and returns the results of the statements to the application. The SQL Native Client driver supports connecting to SQL 7.0 and later.
The driver is included in the 'Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Feature Pack'. Search for it to make sure you download the latest release (new releases comes quite often).
The SQL Native Client ODBC driver complies with the Microsoft Win32 ODBC 3.51 specification. The driver supports applications written using earlier versions of ODBC in the manner defined in the ODBC 3.51 specification.
More info about this driver can be found at the Microsoft product page.

This one is a bit tricky. First you need to set the connection object's Prompt property to adPromptAlways. Then use the connection string to connect to the database.oConn.Properties('Prompt') = adPromptAlways
