in thread Connecting to Sybase DB using DBI module

I see,..... I did not know this.(Sybase will not use the DSN i have created)

OK, I will install Sybase open client and try again,....I will get back to you with my findings.

btw: does this mean that Only MS dabases such as MS access uses DSN names? or am I missing something else here?...I will soon find out :-(

Thanks for your help so far.

    No - you can use ODBC to connect to a Sybase database, provided that you have a Sybase ODBC driver installed. In that case you can use DBD::ODBC to access a Sybase server.

    DBD::Sybase uses Sybase's native C API, and so will not use any ODBC settings you may have defined.
