First of all it's not wise to use userid and pwd in a connection string. Use trusted connection instead.

1)

lnHandle = SQLStringConnect("Driver={SQL server};server=AYEMYA;Trusted_connection=yes")
SQLExec(m.lnHandle,"select * from myDabase..myTable","myCursor")
SQLDisconnect(m.lnHandle)
select myCursor
browse

2)

loCon = createobject('AdoDb.Connection')
loCon.ConnectionString = "Provide=SQLOLEDB;Data Source=AYEMYA;Trusted_connection=yes"
loCon.Open
loRS = loCon.Execute("select * from myDabase..myTable")
? loRs.Fields(0).Value
loCon.Close
