lnHandle = sqlstringconnect('Driver=Microsoft ODBC for Oracle;UID=myuserid;PWD=mypwd;ConnectString=ora1;')

lnHandle = sqlstringconnect('Driver=Microsoft ODBC for Oracle;UID=myuserid;PWD=mypwd;Server=ora1;')

lnHandle = sqlstringconnect('Driver=Oracle ODBC Driver;UID=myuserid;PWD=mypwd;DBQ=ora1;')

>I am connecting through VFP. I have tried both SQLCONNNECT with an named DSN and I have tried SQLSTRINGCONNECT both produce the same results.
