Sergey,

Right, I think I am getting there and thanks again. So, here is what I am thinking:

I have a system DSN, "MY TEST DSN". It is setup as follows:
Data Source Name: My Test Dsn
Driver: Microsoft Foxpro VFP Driver (*.dbf)
Database Type: Free Table Directory
Path: C:\My Test Data

So, my DSN can only return .DBF stuff... got that, but this is not working:

lcDsn = ALLTRIM("MY TEST DSN")
lnConn = SQLConnect( lcDsn )
lcConnStr = SQLGetProp( lnConn, "ConnectString")
*-- But, here is a problem.  lnTableCount Returns -1
lnTableCount = SQLTABLES(lnConn, 'DBF', "_tablelist")
*-- And here lnData Returns -1
lnData = SQLEXEC(lnConn, "SELECT * FROM TEST1", "_TESTDBF1")

Am I really clueless here :) ???

Thanks,

Ric
