Using SQLStringConnect() or SQLConnect() has not returned any popup message for me when I use it. My examples are:

lnHandle = sqlconnect('DSN=SDWIS/Fed;UID=xmx;PWD=wrong;SERVER=sdwisfed;')
lnHandle = sqlstringconnect('Driver=Microsoft ODBC for Oracle;ConnectString=reg6;UID=npdes;PWD=wrong;')

Both returned -1 with no messagebox. Both returned a valid connection when I used the correct password.

However, if you pass in the wrong userid/password you not only get the -1 return which I want, but you also get a popup error message. I don't want the popup. Does anyone know how to turn this off or another way to test the odbc conncection silently?
