Hi Kevin,
By chance do you have access to Visual Basic? Any time I have needed a connection string to use in Fox, I have used VB to create the connection because the tools they have to do it let you setup the connection visually, in a more wizard-like environment, which in the end returns the connection string to you. You then can just cut/paste this into your fox code.
