There should be something obvious I am missing here. I just can't see what it is.

I can do the following:

lnHandle=SQLStringConnect('Driver={Microsoft Visual FoxPro Driver};SourceType=DBF;SourceDB=d:\WWW\DirectMartialArts;'+;
 'Exclusive=No;Collate=Machine;NULL=NO;Deleted=Yes;BACKGROUNDFETCH=NO')
? lnHandle

This gives me a valid handle.

I can also do this:

SELECT * FROM d:\WWW\DirectMartialArts\Event

And, this gives me the related data.

But, why doing it with SQLExec() generates a -1?

? SQLExec(lnHandle,'SELECT * FROM Event')
