This is a very detailed article, thanks for this.

for the time being i was able to solve this issue by creating dsn, i'm using following lines but still nothing is happennning, do u hv any idea


hConn = SQLStringConnect("DSN=sqlserv;UID=vinod;PWD=mypass;Database=vinod")
? hconn && this is returning 1
SQLEXEC(hConn, "use vinod")
SQLEXEC(hConn, "sele * from zsample", "test")
BROWSE && this is asking table to open i.e. no data is getting transferred..

there is also mcafee firewall installed, do u think it is creating some problems.
