Hi Mark,

I tried using SQLCONNECTSTRING in one of my MTDLL's and it worked just fine. I think Claude is correct when he states that it probably has some sort of security implication. I found the same thing as Claude when I applied SP1 to VFP7. What is the error message you are receiving?

Bye for now

>>I'll bet it works from a .EXE, but, it needs to run from a .dll. I've seen this in VFP7sp1,win2k pro (does yours work in 7sp1?). Ironically it worked from a .exe and ASP.NET! At first blush, I would say it's a security issue, but, it definitely isn't clear cut...

>>>Same code fine in VFP7.
>>>I did not try to compile to exe. Dont think it will make any difference.
>>>Since I am talking about JIT yes I am running it from a virtual folder. Same code works OK in VFP8 IDE. Strange.
