Ok that works fine, I've now got the sybperl module loaded.
But the code I have already written for my production site (UNIX) uses Sybase::DBlib and all is fine in that world and when I ported it all to a laptop for stand-alone use ...
the 1st time was on Win 2K and all worked with a few tweeks
Now I'm asked to move it all to a new laptop running Win XP and all is not well even with the newly installed SybPerl module.
Also in reply to MrChromeDome: nope I havn't tried to rewrite my code, I see that as a last resort at this point.

Thanks for all your support,
