Randy,

Sure.
if ( "PROG-DFRANK" $ sys(0) )
   set path to office_dir_structure...
   lcConnectTo = "devsql02"
else
   set path to home_dir_structure...
   lcConnectTo = "(local)"
endif

set classlib to microsystem additive

public oSystem
osystem = createobject( "sqlservermicrosystem" )
with oSystem
   .cServername = lcConnectTo
   .cDatabase = "HHCommon"
   ? .GetConnection()
endwith
the microsystem class tree is an object wrapper around SPT calls.

If you are using a DBC and remote views you can swap out the connection as appropriate.
