Hi,

Use forward slashes for filename? Esp on windows 

'DBI:SQLite:C:/Users/DON/Desktop/data.db

[download]

I doubt your non-par version works at all

If does works as you say, it probably doesn't do what you think it does, it probably opens an ADStream and not the filename you wanted.

For \C:\Users\DON\Desktop\data.db

The filename is "\C"

and the stream is " users" ... but I've never seem a stream with slashes so that would fail also
