Debbie writes "Is there anyway I can set the APP_NAME via Transact SQL? I connect to SQL via ODBC (SQLCONNECT(odbcname, userid, password))from VFP and the APP_NAME returns:

Microsoft® Visual FoxPro®
Is there anyway I can set this?

Many Thanks

Yes, but it's not a T-SQL statement. In your ODBC connection string, add "APP=MyAppName;". That will change the default from Foxpro to whatever you want it to be. This also works in OLEDB connection strings as well.
