>Two ways - one is DATABASE=UP241 (or whatever the DB name is). The other way is DATABASE=MASTER, and then issue the USE YOURDB as the first command after connection, and check the result.

Even by doing this, it doesn't work.

lcSQLString=[DRIVER=SQL Server;SERVER=.\SQLEXPRESS;Database=Master;Trusted_Connection=True;]
lnSQLHandle=SQLSTRINGCONNECT(lcSQLString)
? SQLEXEC(lnSQLHandle,'USE Test')

lnSQLHandle has a value. But, executing SQLExec() on it, generates a -1.
