1. I'm relying on the install of an existing server to which I am not an admin. However we will be upgrading. 2. The do method was only an attempt at trying something new at the time that I posted my code. I was actually using prepare/execute because I knew I was expecting a resultset. I usually work with .net and if I run any SQL using any of the methods, it executes 100% fully before continuing.

I've come across odbc_more_results in previous research but DBD::ODBC only says "SQL Server supports this feature" so I assumed I didnt have to use this unless I was expecting to see multiple results from using sql such as select * from table1; select * from table2;

You've been a great help. Thank you.
