I can get in using sql manager no problem and remote connections allowed. I've managed to login using
constring = "Driver=SQL Server;Server=SERVER-ACC\SQLEXPRESS; Initial Catalog=acctrax; User Id=user1; Password=password1"

but now this code fails

lcsqlSelect = "SELECT * from isinvoices"
IF SQLEXEC(lnSqlHandler,lcSqlselect,"Cur1") <0
