You could use ODBC to set up a DSN connection, test it and then use it. For
instance, you set up a DSN connection called 'myconnection'.
Then you can use thus:
nHandle = sqlstringconnect([dsn=myconnection;trusted_connection=yes])
if nHandle < 0
messagebox('Connection failed')
else
messagebox('Connected successfully')
endif
