(OT) ms Access

Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi can anyone help a guy new to perl. I am trying to connect to msAccess throught a browser to extract Clientname, ClientEmail. Simple I am sure but I can't even get the connection to work. Can anyone help a layman.

I believe that we would need a look at the perl code that is failing and some indications about the layout of the MS Access file --blm--	[reply]

I take it you have considered using DBI and DBD::ODBC to link via "System DSN" (see Windows->Control Panel->Admin Tools->Data Sources ODBC) to your Access database haven't you?	[reply]
