Does anyone know of a way, either through VFP or the SQL system tables/functions to get the user's password? SQLGETPROP doesn't work because it returns an empty string.

I'm not sure you would be able to do that. This would not be ok as far as the security goes. Of course, if you build your own interface, then you are acting as an intermediate and you could get it. Maybe someone else has done something with such an approach.
