Try this:
? SQLSTRINGCONNECT([Driver={SQL Server};Server=METAFRAME;Database=excepciones;Uid=USER_NAME_HERE;Pwd=PASSWORD_HERE])
** or if you use Trusted connection
? SQLSTRINGCONNECT([Driver={SQL Server};Server=METAFRAME;DATABASE=excepciones;Trusted_Connection=yes;])

>>>Is it possible to define / create and ODBC with VFP programming? I need to develope a new program with access to an existing SQL Server database and I would not like to go to each PC to create the ODBC by myself, instead of that, I would like to create an option on the program's menu for creating the needed connection to the SQL Database.
