I think the 'cheat' posted in response to your original post was a really cool one and does exactly what you want: i) for 'creation' of a database you let Perl just copy a template, and ii) you connect to that database via a dns-less connection. However, if you even want to avoid that one time you create the database template manually with Access, you can do that remote controlling Access from within Perl using the Win32::OLE module. Access will stay in play anyways. HTH Bodo
