Just scatter shooting here, but I'm wondering if you could attempt to
connect and then re-attempt to connect if you get an error.
Not sure if this would help but here's some code I use to make DSN-less
connections:
* Set SQL TimeOut Wait
=SQLSETPROP(0,"ConnectTimeOut",3)
* Suppress ODBC error dialog
=SQLSETPROP(0,"DispWarnings",.f.)
* Suppress login dialog
=SQLSETPROP(0,"DispLogin",3)
CLEAR ERROR
lnConnection = SQLSTRINGCONNECT(lcDSNLess,.T.)
lnErrorRows = AERROR(laError)
IF lnConnection < 0
lcErrMsg = ''
FOR lnLoopCnt = 1 TO 7 && Display all elements of the array
lcErrMsg = lcErrMsg + TRANSFORM(laError(lnLoopCnt))
+ CHR(13)
ENDFOR
= MESSAGEBOX('Cannot make connection' + CHR(13) + lcErrMsg +
CHR(13) + lcDSNLess, 16, 'SQL Connect Error')
lnConnection = -1
ELSE
= SQLSETPROP(lnConnection, "PacketSize", 4096 )
ENDIF
Hope this helps!

Subject: VFP 8, ODBC connection to Azure SQL Server Pausing
Hello,
I have been having issues with MS Azure SQL Server going to a "pause state"
at night after no activity.
Then when I try to connect with :
lnConnection = SQLSTRINGCONNECT(lcConnString,.T.)
Because the Azure SQL Server is paused, the SQLSTRINGCONNECT() times out and
prompts with the ODBC failed to connect and SQL Server login prompt.
This is annoying when I don't want that to pop up because the end user will
not know what to do.
All the help online just says an Azure SQL Server resumes once an attempt to
connect is made...
Does anyone have any experience with this?
Is it a timeout issue that we can set in our connection string?
Is there a setting on the Azure SQL server we need to set to not allow it to
pause?
Thanks for any guidance,
