Hi! I am using this rough code below to dump some data into a MS Access db and after executing successfully a few times, half way through the records it gives me an "Can't execute SQL statement. Perl says Bad file descriptor, DBI says" error. Any info would you be appreciated. Thanks. 
my $dbh = CreateObject OLE "ADODB.Connection" or die "Can't create con
+nection to DataBase: $!" unless $dbh;
$dbh->Open("Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ=db/1.mdb");

my $rs = CreateObject OLE "ADODB.Recordset" or die "can not create rec
+ordset"; 
my $sql = "INSERT INTO classes (subject,classnumber,description) VALUE
+S ('$classSubject','$classNumber','$classDescription')";

$rs = $dbh->Execute( $sql ) or die print ( "Can't execute SQL statemen
+t. Perl says $!, DBI says ",$dbh::errstr,"\n");

$dbh->Close();
