I'm not currently at work, so can't test. My suggestions:

I don't put the user name and password in the connection string, my connect statement looks like
```
my $dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:ODBC:DRIVER=SQL Server;SERVER=HOST\\INSTAN
+CE;DATABASE=DBNAME", $DBUser, $PW) or die $DBI::errstr;
[download]
```
(the actual connection string including the (single) backslash comes from a config file, but that shouldn't matter)
Did you test the exact same ODBC connection with another tool, e.g. MS QUERY/Excel/Access?
Do you use 32bit or 64bit Perl?
