connect to MS SQL Server via ODBC

[mfstuart]

Hi Robert,
Typically when requesting 'user' table information from MS SQL Server, you
want define the SELECT statement as:
SELECT * FROM sysobjects WHERE (xtype = 'U')
Look at the 'syscolumns' table for the column names and their "properties" -
length, type, etc.
