>>I've got a machine that I just set up with NT 4.0. I just installed VFP 5.0. When I try to connect to the sql server, I get an error '01000'. It is failing while attempting to open the connection. I am testing this by typing 'x=sqlconnect()' which usually works. I can see the server data source in the dialog box...the error comes after it tries to connect.

Thanks...we found the problem...my user setup was incorrect and I was not getting logged onto the NT server correctly. (We have Novell and NT). I could see the server volumes but could not write data. I changed my setup and things went okay. Apparently this was a difference between 95 and NT, since it had worked in 95. the command x=sqlconnect() returns a 1 for x if it was successful or a 0 if it wasn't. We just use it to see if we can actually make a connection.

I really do appreciate your help.
