Does anyone know (or have a sample of) a way to read the DNN database in Classic ASP?

I'm a veteran ASP developer, and not very good (yet) with ASP.NET... but I have a couple of things that I *MUST* get done.  So I can write an ASP page and put it in an IFrame module, but I need to know how to connect to the DNN backend database (mainly to just read user ID information... I have to link User ID's to multiple projects; and I have a table for that, but I need to read all of the DNN user information as a recordset).

I will eventually learn enough about .NET to do it that way, but in the meantime, I need to get this working.

Anyway... what I'm really looking for is a connection string to connect to the DNN database from classic ASP, so I can bounce a SELECT statement off of it.  Can anyone help?  Thanks in advance!

 Reading the DNn database is the same as reading any other. You won't have the advantage of getting the connection set up for you like in the DNN framework, but anything else if the same old matter of getting the connection and calling the stored procedures.
