Hi Andy, Thanks for the help, And your guess is right, I currently have Oracle 7.2 on the Win98 with Activestate Perl 5.3.0. Trying the Activestate Perl 5.8 install. - Is it still possible to get connected to Oracle 7.2 database on win98 ? - What is the minumum configuration that is required to get DBD access? thanks John

Which version of Oracle are you running? The above looks suspiciously like a version that would run on Windows 95 - which would make it a particularly old version of Oracle. It's not version 7, is it? -- Andy Hassall / Space: disk usage analysis tool / --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Send holiday email and support a worthy cause. Do good.
