David,

>What is the quickest way to query records from a SQL Server table?

Try this sequence:

 nSQLHandle = SQLconnect (cSQLDataSource, cSQLUserId, cSQLPassword)

 If nSQLHandle = -1
    << your error handling routine >>
 endif
 
 cSQLString = "Select ... From ..."

 SQLexec (nSQLHandle, cSQLString, "ResultCursor")

 Select ResultCursor
 Browse

See SQLconnect() and SQLexec() in the help file for details.

Hope it helps,

Fernando
