Guys, RE. My earlier checkbox question(s)! I have a minor problem with a SQL Query being run in Perl within IndigoPerl running on Win32 platform. The web server I am using is a local version of Apache. The SQL Statement is below: What I am trying to do is to feed each form value into the SQL statement from a posted form with checkboxes and drop down lists. My error message on the apache server is 
Content-type: text/html

<!-- warning: DBD::ODBC::db prepare failed: [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft
