I use DBD::ODBC to connect to MS SQL Server 7 from WINNT to WINNT. No problems here. However, as httptech said, you will have to get the ODBC driver for your platform. Here's one possible source: http://www.easysoft.com/products/main.phtml I really don't know how good this product is but a colleague of mine pointed me to it afew days ago.	[reply]

OpenRDA is a commercial product that maybe could solve your problem. Here are instructions (pretty old) on how to do it from Linux. Good luck. /brother t0mas	[reply]
