You should be able to use SQLSETPROP() instead of DBSETPROP(). Use 0 (zero) as the connection handle and set the parameters before you do the SQLCONNECT(). This set's parameters for the VFP environment - which will then apply to all new connections.

By the way, you can use a Connection without using Views.
