Robed ones,
I have been using Win32::ODBC just fine on WinNT4 w/MSSQL 7. My department just got another web server with 2000 (both NT & MSSQL) and suddenly I have to set the Username and Password in my DSN call. I'd much rather just call the DSN connection and have it use the defaults. Here's what I used to do:
use Win32::ODBC
my $DSN = "myDSN";
my $db = new Win32::ODBC($DSN);

[download]
If I try that on the 2k box, I get the following error: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Login failed for user '(null)'. Reason: Not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection. Is there a monk who has solved this in any way other than writing:
my $db = new Win32::ODBC("DSN=$DSN;UID=$DSNuserName;PWD=$DSNpassword")
+;

[download]
Note that this is a System DSN and since the second one works great I'm fairly sure my SQL user, etc. are correct. I've been looking towards DBI, but would rather not re-write all these apps right now.

Thanks,
Ardenstone
