Brilliant!! Thanks, that seemed to work - although I had to reboot my machine for it to load up.

I have been using OLE recently to connect to Access databases. The ADO extension of OLE seems to be really fast. I was testing Win32::ODBC and it seems to take a long time to connect to the database, whereas ADO does it in milliseconds.

Anyway, thank you very much for your help.
