in thread One Question about DBF

It's in the right place, I just meant that you should replace $dbhA->catalog(...) with $dbhA->ad_catalog().

you should probably also set $dbhA->{RaiseError} to 1 or trap errors on each call.

    Sorry to bug you so much :o)
    I did that this is like the code looks like 
    use DBI;

my $dbhX = DBI->connect("DBI:XBase:/proyecto");
my $dbhA = DBI->connect('dbi:AnyData(RaiseError=>1):');
   $dbhA->ad_catalog('etstx','CSV','etstx.csv');
my $sth = $dbhX->prepare("SELECT * FROM reg501");
$sth->execute();
$dbhA->do("CREATE TABLE etstx AS SELECT * FROM ?",{}, $sth);

    and I run it and it send a very long error message :
    SQL ERROR: Bad table or column name '?' has chars not alphanumeric or 
+underscore!

DBD::AnyData::db do failed: SQL ERROR: Bad table or column name '?' ha
+s chars not alphanumeric or underscore!

      Au contraire, I'm sorry to be supplying you with bad examples of my own modules. Please use the code in my updated original node, I tried it, it works. Let me know if this works for you, sorry for all the confusion.
