Anyone has ever tried to connecto to a DBF set of files using Xbase when the files are located on a network drive? I'm running a cgi to write a set of records onto those files. I've tried the following with no success: $dbh1 = DBI->connect("DBI:XBase:f:") or die $DBI::errstr; $dbh1 = DBI->connect("DBI:XBase://rob/wiro") or die $DBI::errstr; Any hints, solutions, please advise. i'm this '' close to get desperate. thanks rob
