If you do not get back a positive integer value then you did not get a connection handle to the database server. At that point you should load up AERROR and examine what that returns for more information on why your connection attempt was refused.

Alright - a final follow-up. OK - as previously mentioned - my systems guy said I should only connect to a Database if it's in Principal mode and Not in Mirror mode. So, to test this out - I connected into the Albany server using MSSM Studio. And, when I went to look at one of the Databases in particular - I saw that it had the status of Mirror. Where as, in another session of MSSM Studio - I logged into our NYC Server - and the same Database had the mode of Pricipal. Sure, that's all well and good - and what I expected. Then I tried connecting to the Albany Server - and to that particular Database - using the same login credentials I used in MSSM Studio. Upon running that SQLSTRINGCONNECT statement - it returned a value of "-1" as the statement handle. So - my assumption is that - even though the SQLSTRINGCONNECT could connect to the Server, and could "See" the Database in question - it "knew" to return back a value of "-1" since the Database was in Mirror mode - and should thus NOT be used. Am I right? I suspect in this case - my assumption is correct. But, figured I should just get verification from those folks more knowledgeable in this area than myself (a kind of newbie for some of this SQL stuff)...
