Sounds like a firewall issue, either on your end or on their end. Go to a terminal and type "telnet <ip> 3306" and see if you get a response, or if that hangs. If it hangs, check your firewall to make sure it allows tcp port 3306 outbound. > In my VFP9SP1 app, I've set the ConnectTimeout value to be 5, yet the > SQLSTRINGCONNECT line afterwards just hangs. > > Why doesn't it timeout as directed? I could never get the timeout in vfp to work either.
