in reply to DBI Module Question

Keep in mind there's a difference between the dsn you set up under control panel...data sources(ODBC), and the dsn that dbi expects. If you set up a dsn under control panel named 'MADDY', then you can probably connect with:
my $dsn = "MADDY"; my $user = "Maddy17"; my $pw = ""; my $dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:ODBC:$dsn", $user, $pw, { RaiseError => 1, });
Also, use RaiseError as in the above connect statement.
