SQL Express is also a real SQL server. You didn't say what the error was.
SQL express installations, unless you modify, use a named instance. Try like:
lnHandle = Sqlstringconnect( "Driver={SQL Native Client};server=.\sqlexpress;Trusted_connection=yes" )
? m.lnHandle
If m.lnHandle = 1
SQLTables(m.lnHandle)
Endif
SQLDisconnect(0)
If m.lnHandle = 1
Select SqlResult
Browse
EndifCetin
