To all who might know what is needed in this case -
If I connect to SQL Server 2005 in the manner described below, all works a-okay.
But when connect the same program to SQL Server 2008 on a Wni Server 2008 platform problems occur for which I have no idea where to turn for solutions.

My VFP Program accesses SQL Server via ODBC 32 bit version in both the SQL 2005 and 2008 cases.
When I connect to the main database, all works okay no matter whether is is running under SQL 2005 or SQL 2008.

But when access a 2nd database (the archived history database) get the following error messages -
"Specified DSN contains an architecture mismatch between the Driver and the Application" or
"Source Name Not found and no Default driver specified" or
The server Pricipal "User-1" is not able to access the database "Archived Data" under the current security context.

These errors occur whether I access the archive by calling SQLCONNECT or if I simply ID the archive database as part of the table's name in the SELECT statement.

Maybe I need to do something different in ODBC or is there a parameter or driver needed for the VFP engine?

I sincerely thank all those who might have a suggestion or idea where I have gone astray.
