>I am running Postgres on Redhat Linux 9. I am on a Windows2000 server and can run PGADMINIII without problems however I cannot get a connect string to work from inside VFP7. I modifed the example that Leland gave earlier in this thread and it doesn't work. I pinged the server and it responds fine. Any ideas?

I use a connection string something like the following, which works for me:
Driver=PostgreSQL;UID=someuserid;PWD=somepassword;Server=somesite.ca;Database=somedb
