Connection string

I am a vb6 developer. Is there such a thing as a connection string to SalesForce?  I understand that I need to log into SF before I go anywhere - I've done that bit - but then I want to populate a vb data grid with Salesforce account data, therefore the code should look something like:

Dim Conn as adodb.connection
Dim rec as adodb.recordset

set conn = new adodb.connection
set rec = new adodb.recordset

Conn.open Connection string
rec.open "select * from account",conn

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Neil
