Hi all,
I used the below link to get the code to get the contents of MS Access table. In the link below go to "Putting it all together section" http://sunsite.berkeley.edu/ead/tools/eaddb/fundamentals.html.

The problem is that i get an error 

 Can't call method "value" on an undefined value at my_program.pl line
+ 9.

[download]

The code is 

my $value = $RS-> Fields($field)->value;

[download]

so i checked on the internet if anyone else found the same problem. I found a link which had given a solution too. The link is http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Mail/Message/perl-win32-database/1700169 The solution given was if you want to access an object's property you have to put braces around the property. so Line 24: 

my $value = $RS-> Fields($field)->value;

[download]

should be: Line 24:

my $value = $RS-> Fields($field)->{value};

[download]

I tried the above but still i get the error.
