Hi!
DRIVER={SQL Server} - where you try to connect to: SQL Server or VFP database?
You can get correct string by playing around the connection creating in the VFP database. Create it for VFP database using DSN, than switch option to use connection string after you tested a DSN connection. VFP will populate string for you from the DSN. You can use this string also for ADO to connect.
HTH.

The professional level of programmer could be determined by level of stupidity of his/her bugs
It is not appropriate to say that question is "foolish". There could be only foolish answers. Everybody passed period of time when knows nothing about something.
