Hi,My problem is I'm not getting any of the Microsoft message, just the numbers. If you've an opportunity, could you check the versions you have of the DB packages, aginst what I posted, I still think I may not have everything I need, or their not current. Or maybe I installed in an improper sequence. I'm getting errors now when I try to read the data using
while ($db->FetchRow() ) { @Data= $db->Data( 1 ); }
which should just get the first column, but I get this error sequence for every record.

Line 51 being Fetchrow. Of course there maybe a problem with the data base, but everything is supposed to be stright text. Also tried using examples found at http://www.roth.net/perl/odbc/docs/ODBC_Docs.htm# for Data and Datahash, but keep getting similar errors. Of course some of those column names are names with spaces in them, so that might be yet another problem. And I thought this would be easier than figuring out visual basic. Thanks again for your time and help.
