That should be
    return Object'(Connection_String'Access);
the extended-return is the form
   return object:type [:= value] do
     sequence_of_statements
   end return;

as you can see there's no 'do' there -- which is what the compiler was 
complaining about: there was no ';' between the value and "do".

The reason this is failing is because it's reading the parens as 
conversion, not qualification -- for qualification you need a "'"; 
personally I'm a fan of using named parameters when using qualification 
and generating objects.

    return Object'(Parameters => Connection_String'Access, others => <>);
