You're giving us (and the entire internet) your passwords. Your machine
should be owned by now.

You say it isn't working, but you don't say if you've:
- tested to confirm the connection is working
- verified that the SQL statement is correct
- tried to get back an error message to determine what's wrong
- done any troubleshooting what-so-ever.

My advice? Read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

But first, please read on...

I've tested this much. From Linux, using unixODBC, FreeTDS and isql.
It does, in fact work. Now that you've posted this to the internet, any
malicious user can come along and issue DROP ALL, or change your password.
Someone's going to... Please change your UID and password.
NOW.

In the future, please don't share user ids and passwords.

This is unusual syntax. Are you sure this is right?

Does the GoDaddy MS SQL server have a local c:\foxdat\hsf_broodmare file?
