problem with SQLConnect in VFP8

Asked by PhilMuller in FoxPro Database

Tags: Microsoft, Visual FoxPro, V8

In short, I go in to VFP 8 and try the SQLCONNECT() command (no parameters), choose an ODBC connection and it doesn't connect.

Technically, the code is in software, but I just tried it in the command window and got the same result.  I tried the same thing in VFP7 and it worked fine.  I tried the same thing in VFP9 and it worked fine.  I tried it in a VFP8 exectuable and it worked fine.  I recently moved all my stuff over to a new computer, so I tried it on VFP8 on my old computer...same problem.  This is something that's been working before (although I haven't tried it for a number of weeks).  I have VFP9 SP1 installed.  Am I missing something here?  Or am I indeed going crazy?Start Free Trial
