Sounds like your connect string isn't correct. I found  $dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:ODBC:$odbc", $user, $pass); where $odbc is the name given to a system DSN that you set through the control panel. $user = username $pass = password - recommended in a reply elsewhere (credit to Ian Summers). If that doesn't work I'd suggest looking up docs on DBI on the connect string.

and heres what my code looks like


#!C:/Perl/bin/perl.exe
use CGI::Carp "fatalsToBrowser";
use CGI qw(:standard);
use DBI;

print header();

my $DSN = 'driver=Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb);dbq=C:/FoxServ/Apach
+e/cgi-bin/test.mdb';
my $dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:ODBC:$DSN", '','') 
    or die "$DBI::errstr\n";

$dbh->execute();

@information = $dbh->fetchrow_array;

foreach $test (@information){
print $test;
print "\n<br>\n";
