Why not use AERROR() to see why the SQLSTRINGCONNECT() not works?

  .Datasource=SQLSTRINGCONNECT(mysqlconnstr)
  IF .DataSource < 0
     AERROR(aErr)
     MessageBox(aErr[1,2])
  ENDIF

BTW If You want to connection string not to be hard coded why you put it in header file? Why not write it in registry, INI file, table or somewhere else where you can reach it? If You inculde it in Header or #define it you must recompile the entire application each time if the server is changed or any in other changes in connection string.
