RE: [Dev-C++] OT: Connecting to FoxPro databases with a DSN

It does compile (after a few modifications - it had some botched includes),
but it exits without an error or anything. I've tried setting breakpoints
and stepping into it, so I isolated the point at which it exits (on an "if"
statement to determine if the query was successful, but I don't know which
fork of the "if" it's following - it just exits and never makes it to the
"if" commands OR the "else" commands). No dialog box or message box, no
error message, nothing.

Plus, it only demonstrates doing it with a DSN. The nature of this project
demands that it be done without a DSN (because there are two many databases
and too many client machines involved, and neither is expected to stay at
all constant in number).
