Hey Naomi :-)
Thanks for your fast reply.
Using the following connection string:
Handle = SQLStringConnect ( "driver={SQL Server};server=myServer;database=myDB;pwd=myPass;uid=myUser;")
I also am thinking it's a driver issue, hence my coming here, to see if i can tweak the current one or use a different one.
I cannot modify the SQL DB it's an external application...
