in reply to Inserting file into a database

Not sure of what your asking( so i should probably stay quiet... oh well). But if you're having trouble with the connection string, you can set it up like so:
my $dsn = "Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};" . "Dbq=c:\\your_nifty_folder\\your_nifty_db.mdb;" . "Uid=admin;" . "Pwd="; my $dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:ODBC:$dsn");
i found that here.
actually this link may better serve you. it discusses inserting binary data into ms access.
i've found this thread w/ code examples of inserting into ms access memo fields
good luck!
