>What I mean is when executing a SQLEXEC command from Fox, you either get a 1 or a -1. That's fine and dandy, but if it's a -1 I would like to know WHY my SQLEXEC failed. BTW, I don't want to use the Tracing feature from the ODBC administrator because that could create some really big logs. All I want to do is grab the error and pop it up on the screen so the user knows there was an error and can call support( i.e. ME ) and read off the exact error being returned by the ODBC driver.

You can use AERROR function as shown in sample code below

LOCAL ARRAY laError[1]
LOCAL lcErrMsg

=AERROR(laError)
IF laError[1,1] <> 1526
	* It's not ODBC Error
	lcErrMsg = "VFP ERROR: " + Transform(laError[1,1]) + ;
				" " + Transform(laError[1,2])
ELSE
	lcErrMsg = ALLTRIM( laError[1,3] )
ENDIF
