ADO C++ sqloledb will not connect from Server 2003 r2

I have a wierd situation where I have a very successful ADO xHarbour\FWH C++
application ( executable ) which resides on a Win2003 server.

When the users run the executable from the server ( shortcut on their pc )
the application connects to the off site SQL server and runs flawlessly.

However .. if you are at the server console ( physically at the server ) ..
and you run the same application ( on the server ) it will start but fail to
connect to the first table.

Totally exhausted here trying to find an answer .. I have found Google ideas
on adding Persistant Security Info=False to no avail.

Here is the connection string :

oRs := TOleAuto():New( "ADODB.Recordset" )
oRs:CursorType := 1 // opendkeyset
oRs:CursorLocation := 3 // local cache
oRs:LockType := 3 // lockoportunistic

cSQL := "SELECT * FROM utility WHERE progid ='"+xPROGID+"'"
TRY
oRS:Open(cSQL,'Provider='+xPROVIDER+'Data Source='+xSOURCE+'Initial
Catalog='+xCATALOG+'User Id='+xUSERID+'Password='+xPASSWORD )
CATCH oErr
MsgInfo( "Error in Opening UTILITY CRASH BURN table" ) /// dies here
RETURN NIL
END TRY

Again .. this app runs the executable flawlessly as a shortcut on the
workstation .. but the same app will not run sitting at the server running
the app ON the server ??

I do not know if this is a server permissions issue where Win2003 breaks the
ADO connection string .. just curious if anyone has had this issue and if
there is a Server fix.

Hope that makes sense. Any help would be appreciated.
