If I use an ODBC connection setup in windows (under Start, Administrative Tools, DataSources (ODBC)) and can connect to a SQL database using this:
lnConnHandle=SQLCONNECT(TRIM(THIS.Parent.FireDataSource.Value), TRIM(THIS.Parent.FireSQLId.Value),;
	TRIM(THIS.Parent.FirePassword.Value))
	
IF lnConnHandle<=0
	?? CHR(7)
	MBox("SQL Test Connection Failed!")
ELSE
	SQLDISCONNECT(lnConnHandle)
	MBOX("SQL Test Connection was Successful.",64)
ENDIF
lnConnHandle is 1 so it connects fine. However, I need to pull the actual SQL Server name. Is there a way to determine the actual SQL Server Name using the ODBC Connection or from the connection setup via the registry (last resort)?
