Mariam,
Why are you using MSDASQL. It's a wrapper driver for ODBC. Directly use VFPOLEDB driver (BTW MSDASQL works too). ie:

*Assuming SQL server has a table named myTable with same structure as ordItems
* lnHandle is ready
text to m.lcSQL textmerge noshow
insert into myTable ;
  SELECT * FROM 
  OPENROWSET('VFPOLEDB', 
  '<<_samples+"data\testdata.dbc">>';'';'',
  'select * from orditems')
endtext
SQLExec(m.lnHandle,m.lcSQL)
