Make sure you are using ODBC Data Sources (32-bit) and in the Drivers tab you'll see which drivers you have for SQL. I have ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server, SQL Server and SQL Server Native Client 11.0 I prefer to use a connection string rather than DSN so that I don't have to set up a DSN on each cl

Now got it working with SQLSTRINGCONNECT() thanks. I will have a look at this native client.  Does that give you any advantages over the ODBC connection? Also noticed in an archive post someone using this to check the connection before doing a real query/update. nResult=SQLEXEC(datahandle,'SELECT

An ODBC connection has to be created on every workstation, as well as installing a SQL Client as well. I'd avoid the ODBC route and go straight SQL Client that does have to be installed on each machine. Pick a higher Client version number such as 10 or 11 today. connectionString="Data Source=SE
