If you use dynamic SQL (which I've had to do, to use OPENQUERY to retrieve Oracle data), I would have thought that you could have. But not sure if it would work with Fox.

And something I discovered recently....if you use the four-part server naming convention, you can parameterize it (at least with Oracle). Again, not as sure when it comes to VFP. I guess it depends on how much functionality is baked into the driver.
